A VIEIV OF THE UNITED STATES. 



THF. UNITED STATE§J. 

THE discovery of the Cape ot Good Hope in Hb, gnw uuIjo iK.vigntursotthat age a great impulse for adven- 
ture. Christopher Columbus, a native of Genoa, a skillful na\ii5ator, ujjd a man of bold and onginal genius, under 
the patronage of Isabella queen of Spain, departed from Palos on the 3d of August, 149-2, on a voyage of disco- 
very, in the hope of finding a western pn5suo;e to the East Indies. 1-Ie discovered the Bahama Islands, ajid land- 
erl on one of them, which he called St. Salvauor,on the 12th of October in tiie same year. When the success of 
Columbus was known in Europe, the king of England dispatched two natives of Venice, John and Sebastian Ca- 
bot, father and son, on a voyage of discovery. They arrived iji Newlbundland in June, 1497, proceeding thence 
they discovered the continent of America, and traversed its coast from the 57 deg. north latitude to Florida. On 
the discoveries made by the Cabots, the English founded their claim to the eastern part of North America. 

America derived its name from Americus Ves]mcius, a Florentine, who, with an adventurer from Portugal, 
in 1499 visited the continent at Paria in the 5th decree of north latitude, and publisiied on his return,- an account 
of his voyage, and a description of the country. Tlie first, but unsuccessful attempt to plant a colony within 
the limits of the United States, was made in 1503, in some part of South C.irolina, by an illustrious Frenchman, 
Jasper Coligni, for the purpose of securing an asylum for the protestants from the persecution of the catholics 
in France. In 1504 several navigators from France came to fish on the banks of Newfoundland. 

In 15-34 a Florentine, in the employment of France, visited this continent, and it is supposed that he entered 
the harbor of New- York. For many years following the coast of North America was visited by Europeans 
for the purpose of fishing, and trading with the natives, but not for settlement. In 1540 the French made an 
unsuccessful attempt to plant a colony in Canada. The gallant Sir Walter P^aleigh made several unsuccessful 
attempts to plant a colony in Carolina, in 1584 and the three following years. His maiden queen Elizabeth 
called this country Virginia. The first direct voyage from Europe to New England was made by Bartholomew 
Gosnald in \60-2. He gave the name to Cape Cod, and erected a fort on an island in Buzzard's bay, the ruins of 
which were lately visible. 

In 1603 and 1G05 Penobscot and Massachusetts Bays were explored, and the rivers on that coast discovered. 
In IBOfj, King James divided the country of Virginia, then considered as extending from the southern boundary 
of Carolina to the northern boundary of Maine, into two districts, — North and South Virginia; the former he 
granted, by letters patent, to Thomas Hanham and his associates under the style of the Plymouth Company ; 
the other lie granted to Sir Thomas Gates and his associates, under the style of the London Company. The 
members of these companies were princi[ially merchants, whose objects were trade with the natives and the 
discovery of the precious metals. Before the dale of these letters patent the king of France had granted to Sieur 
De Moots all the territory from New Jersey to Nova Scotia, then called Acadia. In 1604 the French made a 
settlement on the Bay of Fundy and called it Port Royal ; and in 1608 they founded Q,uebec, the capital of 
Canada. Colonics being planted in many parts of the United States by people of various nations of Europe, the 
English, either by the right of prior discovery, or by the sword obtained jurisdiction over them all as early as 
1661. Although these colonies from the time of their settlement to tiie treaty of Aix La Chapelle in 1748 were 
much anoyed by their French neighbours and the Indians, still they grew very rapidly and added much to the 
wealth and power of the British nation. Their settlements extended along the whole of their coast, but not far 
into the wilderness. 

The settlements of the French reached from the mouth of the river St. Lawrence to Montreal. They had 
erected forts and trading houses on Lake Ontario, had planted New Orleans at the south, had discovered the 
river Mississippi, and claimed the territory on its borders with its tributary streams and its delightful valleys. 

The efi()rtsof the French to connect their northern and southern possessions by a line efforts along the 
lakes, the Ohio, and down the Mississippi, produced the war of 1754 which terminated in the capture of Cluebec 
by the English, September 13, 1759 ; the possession of all the Canadian posts in 1760, and a cession by France 
to" England of all the northern settlements belonging to the former in America, by a treaty of peace made at Paris, 
February 10, 1763. This war cost Great Britain and her American colonies much blood and treasure. Whilst 
the British looked down on the colonists with a spirit of pride and domination, the colonists, with the bold spirit 
of the New England fathers, counted their own resources, and learnt lessons of liberty. 

In 1764 Great Britain commenced a series of measures for taxing her American colonics, without allowing 
them the right of representation in Parliament. The colonies opposed those measures with great firmness and 
eloquence, at the same time not abandoning their loyalty, until 1775, when, finding their country invaded by 
British troops, aild forbearance no longer a virtue, they flew to arms, trusting in God and their own resources. 
The sidrmish at Lexington on the 19th of April 1775, and the battle of Bunker Hill on the 17th of June 
following, told a story worthy of freemen. As early as Septembers, 1774 a continental congress was held at 
Philadelphia. All the 13 colonies attended by their delegates, excepting Georgia. Peyton Randolph was chosen 
president, Charles Thompson, secretary. 

This congress met again in May 1775 at the same place, when John Hancock of Boston, the proscribed 
patriot, was chosen president. On the 15th of June following this Congress elected George Washington, a 
delegate from Virginia, commander in chief of the American forces. 

Soon after this, most of the colonies established governments of their own, acknowledging no source of 
power but the people, and expressed, by their delegates to the continental congress, their wish to he considered 
sovereign and independent states. On the 7th of June, 1776, a resolution to that eflect was proposed to that 
body by Richard Henry Lee of Virginia, and seconded by John Adams of Massacliusetts. A committee 
CO n posed of Jelferson, Adams, Franklin, Sherman, and Livingston, was appointed to draft it; and on the 
4th of July, 1776, the memorable Declaration of Independence was adopted by a band of patriots and heroes, 
the last survivor of whom was Charles Carroll, of CarroUton, who died Nov. 14, 1832. 

The 13 states, united by ardent patriotism, courageously encountered the horrors and sufTerings of a seven 
years' war, and under the guidance of the intrepid Washington, were rewarded with triumphant success. 
In 1782 the British made overtures of peace, hostilities ceased ; and on the 3rd of September 1783 a treaty of 
peace was concluded at Paris by John Adams, Benjamin Franklin and Henry Laurens. 

In 1787 a convention of most of the states met at Philadelphia to revise their old articles of confederation, 
and form a constitution better adapted to their present condition. A constitution was formed, which was 
afterwards sanctioned by the people of the several states, and which, with some amendments, is now in force. 
This constitution connects the states more closely together by establishing a general and supreme government, 
composed of a legislative, an executive, and a judicial department. The first consists of a senate and house of 
representatives, and is styled the congress. The members of the house are chosen by the people, and hold 
their office two years. They are apportioned among the states according to the number of inliabitants, us 
ascertained every tenth year, deducting two fifths of the slaves. The ratio as established under the census of 
18.30, is one for every 47,700. 

Tlu' senators are the representatives of the states in their sovereign capacity and are chosen for six years by 
the sl;ile Utiislalnies, each choosing two. The executive power is vested in a president ajipointcd by electors, 
nl wliniu eurli slate appoints a II umber equal to its represent.alives in congress, and also two more insucli manner as 
the legislature may direct. The president is elected for four years ; he is commander in chief of the land and 
i)a\al foivob ; lie iioiiiinatcs to the senate all officers of the general government ; and willi llu advice and consent 



of that Tiody, ratifies treaties. A vip« president is chosen in the same manner and for the same term, to pei form 
all the duties of president when that office is vacant by death, resignation or removal. I'he vice president is 
cx-officio president ot'the senate. Thejudicial power of the United States is vested in a Supreme Court, and 
such inferior courts as congress may establish : It extends to all cases arising under the constitution, the laws 
of congress, and treaties of the United States; to all cases of admiralty and maritime _furisdietion, to all 
controversies between citizens of diflerent states, and between foreigners and citizens of the United States 
The Judges hold their offices during good behaviour. Neither this constitution, nor a history of the revolutionary 
war can be given here ; they are a part of the records of immortal fame; and, next to the book of inspiration 
should he owned and understood by every child of America. 

The government under its new organization commenced operations at New-York on the 4th of March -1789. 
The elex:tors unanimously chose a? their president, " the Man first in war, first in peace, and first in the hearts 
of his countrymen." 

The commercial treaty made with Great Britain by John Jay of New-York in 1794; advocated by the 
Hamiltons and Ameses of that day, and sanctioned by Washington, laid the corner stone of American commer- 
cial prosperity. 

With the exception of the bloodless insurrection ofShays in Massachusetts in 1786, and that in Pennsylvania 
in 1794, the momentary war with the French Directory in 1798, memorable more for its standing army and direct 
taxes than for any miUtary achievements ; the collision with the Barbary slates in 1804 and 5, in which Deca- 
tur, Eaton and others, gained unfading laurels; and of those wars with the natives, the fee simple proprietors 
of the sod, who still inhabit its distant borders ; the United States enjoyed,for a scries of years, unexampled peace, 
prosperity and happiness. 

In IS07 the British nation had become as much the tyrant of the ocean as Napoleon had of the continent of 
Europe. American commerce was disturbed in every sea. On the 22nd of December 1807, the government 
of tlie United States commenced a system of embargo and non-intercourse laws, of the wisdom of which some 
wise men have doubted, The two champions in jEuro|)e continuing at war, our gallant seamen impressed, 
our coasts invaded, and our commerce with foreign nations almost annihilated, the government of the United 
States remonstrated with the French and English cabinets, and after much vain negotiation, war was declared 
against Great Britain on the 18th of June 181'2. This war, although of doubtful expediency, resulted in relieving 
the British nation of all doubt in regard to American naval i)rowess. Peace was concluded at Ghent on the 
24th of December 1814, and ratified by the United States on the 17th of February following. 

Besides the territory of the British colonies, acquired by the United States, in their conflict for independence, 
much has been added to their dominions by the purchase of the Louisiana territory of France, in April 1803 ; by 
the cession of the Floridas by Spain in 1819, and by various treaiies, compromises and battles with dltlijrcnt tribes 
of Indians, at diflcrent periods. 

The immense Territory of the United States is bounded as follows : viz. E. and S. E. by the Atlantic ocean ; 
S. by the Gulf of Mexico; S. W. by the Mexican States ; W. by the Pacific ocean, and N. by the Russian 
and British territories in North America. This extensive region has the following hmits : commencing on 
Passamaquoddy bay, at the moutk of the St. Croix River, and thcuce along the Atlantic ocean to Florida point, 
1800 miles; thence along the Gulf of Mexico to the mouth of the Sabine river, 1100 miles; from the mouth of 
the Sabine, in common with the Mexican States to the Pacific ocean, 3300 miles : along the Pacific ocean from 
Lat. 42° to about 49° N. 500 miles ; due E. fiom the Pacific ocean on Lat. 49° N. on the Russian territories 
to the Rocky or C'hippcwan mountains, GOO miles; thence in cojnnion with British North America, to the 
mouth of the St. Croix, 3000 miles ; having an entire outline of 9,300 miles. 

MAINE. 

The District of Maine, so called, until it became an independent state in 1820, had been connected with 
Massachusetts in all its political and social relations. The celebrated John Smith made an unsuccessful 
attempt to settle this country in 1614. The first permanent lodgement of the whites in this state was made 
from the Plymouth colony at York, in 1630. Emigration to this state has been more slow than to those 
of a milder climate ; yet perhaps there is no state in the union, that promises more independence from its 
own natural strength and resources than Maine. Its first settlers were a race of men with good minds, stout 
hearts and strong arms ; by them and their sons the stately forests were converted into an article of commerce, 
of immense value ; thus preparing large portions of the soil for its ultimate staples, — wheat, beef, and wool. 
The St. Croix, Shcepsrot, Androscoggin, Saco and other rivers, with the noble Penob.scot and Kennebec, 
flowing into the sea on her extensive coast, meeting at their mou'hs many delightful bays, with islands of 
romantic beauty, where good harbours abound ; together with her fine ships, and liprdy sailors, give to Maine 
peculiar advantages for navigation and the fisheries. Portland is the most important mart of trade in this state, and 
has a fine harbour near the sea. Augusta, at the head of sloop navigation on the Kennebec, 45 miles from its 
mouth, in lat. 44° 17' N. and Ion. 69° 50' W. is a beautiful town, and is now become the capital of the state. 

The bank capital of this state is $2,170,000. In 1826 there were 138,000 children in Maine, between 4and 
21 3'ears of age, of which about 102,000 attended school. The annual expendit^ire is about S138,000. Every 
town within the state is obliged by law to raise annually, a sum equivalent at least to 40 cents from each person 
within the town, for the support of common schools. Large tracts of very excellent land in this state, and many 
beautiful islands in the bays on its coast, are for sale on favourable terms to purchasers. 

This State is bounded north west, and north by Lower Canada ; east by New Brunswick ; south by the 
Atlantic ocean; and west by New Ilanijisliire. Situated between 43° 5' and 48° 3 North Lat. and 70*^ 55'

WE^^-MAMPSMIRE. 

This State was first peopled by Europeans, by virtue of a grant trom the Plymouth Company to John 
Mason and Ferdinando Gorges, in 1622. Their first locations were at Little Harbour, on the west side ol 
Piscataqua river, and at Cocheco, now Dover. In 1631 the first house was built at Portsmouth. In 1638 
Exeter was settled. In 1641 the first settlers formed a coalition with Jilassachusctts, an<l remained connected 
with that colony until 1679. In 1719 about 100 families from the north of Ireland settk-d at Londonderry: 
They introduced the foot spinning wheel, the manufacture of linen, and the culture of potatoes. In 1776 
this colony led the van in forming a constitution of her own, founded on the free suffrages of the people. New- 
Hampshire is more mountainous than any of her sister states, yet she boasts of large quantities of luxuriant inter- 
val. Her high lands produce food for cattle of peculiar sweetness ; and no where can be found the necessa- 
ries, conveniences, and luxuries of life, united, in greater abundance : cattle and wool are its principal sta)iles. 
This state may be said to be the mother of New-England rivers. The Connecticut, Merrimac, Saco, Andros- 
coggin and Piscataqua receive the most of their waters I'rom the highlands of New-Hampshire : whilst the former 
washes the western boundary of the state nearly 170 miles, the latter pierces its centre,and at its mouth forms 
the beautiful harbour of Portsmouth, a depot of the American navy. 

These majestic rivers with their tributary streams aflbrd this state an immense water power, of which 
manufacturers, with large capitals, avail themsehes. This state suffered much during the French and Indian 
wars and did much in the cause of independence. From her cloud capped White Mountains, (the highest 
summit of which is Mount Washington, the loftiest elevation in the United States, 6234 feet above the level of 
the sea,) or her majestic Monadnock, a vast and diversified landscape can be seen. 

Bank capital, $2,103,665 This state raises annually $90,000 for the support of common schools, and 
has a literary fund of a consiaerable amount derived from a tax on bank capital. 

This state is bounded north by LowcrCanada, east by Maine, south east by the Atlantic ocean and Massa-

PlvJ^iu.honthe 2^M of December, 1G20, by a%turdy band of 101 independents, the^persecuted subjects o 
kinnanesUie first of England. Another colony, under the style of the Massachusetts Bay colony, was planted

rbarters ' In 1602 thev were united into one colony under a new charter. ^. . . , . , .> <■ ui

RHODE-ISLANO. . « , 

The Father of this state was Roger Williams, a man remarkable for Ins benevolence, justice, and pacific policy. 
He was banished from the Plymouth colony for avowing the doctrine ot the equal toleration of al religious 
sects in the same political community. He purchased lands of tlie Indians at Moosehausic, where, in 1636, with 
his followers he laid out a plantation, and which place, in gratelul acknowledgment of the kindness of 
heaven, he called Providence. ,,,.,, ^ni. i t i i t> .u 

In 1G38 William Coddington and others followed Wdliams and settled the island of Rhode-Island. By the 
wise policy of Williams towards the Indians, and his respect to all sects of religion, this colony was rendered 
exceeding prosperous. jr. j »v. 

This smallest state in the union possesses great advantages for commerce and manufactures, and the 
enterprize of its citizens leads them to neglect neither. There is perhaps no place in the world where Tritons and 
spinniniT jennies strive so harmoniously for \ictory. ,. , , ,, . r i 

Rhode Island is celebrated for its mild and salubrious cUmate, which is thought peculiarly favorable to female 

This state has a bank capital of upwards of 6 millions, and pays annually 810,000 for the maintainance of 
free schools. It is worthy of remark that this is the only state in the union which is without a wntten constitu- 
tion. Its government is'foundcd on the charter of Charles 2d in 1663.

CONNECTICUT. 

The Plymouth Company in England granted this territory to the Earl of Warwick in 1630 who, in the follow 
ing year, assigned it to Viscount Say and Seal, and Lord Brook, but it was Ur>,t settled by the whites at Wind 
so?, by a party from the Plymouth colony, in 1630. Hartford and Wcathersfaeld were settled by parties from 
Dorchester, Cambrid<re, and Watertown, Massachusetts, in 163d and 1G3(>. ■ . . r . -c u . 

The Dutch claiming this country, as belonging to the JNew Netherlands, it was a sub,ect of s nfe between 
them and the English until 1650, When a treaty of amity and partition was made. In 1638 a party from t.ng- 
land planted a colony at New-Haven, which remained unconnected with that on Connecticut nwr until lbb5, 
when they were united. Blessed with a salubrious climate and a fertile country of hill and dale, tlic people 
of this state probably enjoy as much happiness as is allotted to any part of the human family. Her population 
is always full, and although her domain is not extensive, no Atlantic slate has sent so many ot her cluldren, or 
so larire a share of inlellcctual wealth to the western country, as Connecticut. 

If tlic love of liberty, literature and the arts, of social feeling and moral worth has an asylum on earth, Lon- 
necticut may boast that it is to be found within her liosom. . •■ 7 

Connecticut has a bank capital of about ,5J millions of dollars, and is rich in the productions of her soil and 
Indus'ry, which find their way down her lovely rivers, to her commodious harbors ; but her best capital is her

NEW-YORK. 

Henry Hudson, an Englishman, sailing in the Dulch service, Jiscovered Long Island, the harbour 
of New-Yovk, ami the noble river that bears his name, in the year 1609. The Dutch built Fort Orange, at 
Albany, and commenced a settlement on Manhattan Island in 1G13. The Dutch claimed all the country 
between the Connecticut and Delaware rivers and called it New-Netherlands. The English had always con- 
tested the right of the Dutch to this territory, and in 1G64, Charles II. of England having granted to the Duke 
ofYork and Albany all the country between Nova Scotia and Delaware bay, the New Netherlands came into 
the possession of the English. Fort Orange was then called Albany, and Manhattan, or New-Amsterdam, 
New-York. I^ew-York stands unrivalled by any of her sister states in the union of those things winch consti- 
tute the prosperity of a people. Her central situation, her excellent climate, her fertile and extensive territory, 
her navigable rivers, her inland seas, her mighty cataracts and never failing streams ; together with the proximity 
of her chief city to the ocean, all afford her the greatest advantages in agriculture, commerce and manufactures. 
What the hand of nature has withheld from New-York, the genius of her Clintons and Fultons has supplied. 
Already more than six hundred miles of canal intersect her beautiful domain, linking river to river, and ming- 
ling the waters of the Atlantic with those of the northern and western lakes. Already nearly one hundred 
steam boats move through her waters with an average speed of about ten miles an hour, propelling an 
aggregate burthen which would require a power of between four and five thousand horses. This state produces 
in great abundance all the staple commodities and luxuries common to the climate, the surplus of which, and 
large quantities from other states, lind an easy access to the great mart of New-York. I'he salt springs at 
Onondaga Lake, at the villages of Salina, Syracuse, Liverpool and Geddes, produce a large revenue to the state ; 
and the mineral waters at Ballston and Saratoga give health to many, and pleasure to all that visit them. 

The rajjid increase of this state in wealth and population, the magic growth of villages and cities along the 
lines of river, lake and canal communication, and the corresponding development of political and intellectual 
power, render the history of New- York in the highest degree valuable and interesting. 

The enterprising Mr. Hugh White, from some part of New England, made the first settlement at Whitestown, 
Oneida county, 100 miles west of Albany, in 17S1. At that time the country to the north and west of that 
place, even to the great lakes, was a dense forest inhabited only by savages and wild beasts. In 1830 the county 
of Oneida had a population of 71,326; bank and insurance capital $1,100,000, and 15 cotton factories employing 
908 hands, making annually S5'25,000 worth of goods. The Oriskany woollen factory, in this county, makes 
annually $130,000 worth of goods. Utica, Rome and Whitesborough are the county towns. Population of 
Utica 83-23, Rome 4360, Whitestown 4410. 

The county of Monroe, 160 miles west of Whitestown (by the canal) has a population of 49,862. 50,201 
acres of wheat were cut in this county in 1830, sujjposed to have averaged 20 bushels to the acre. The largest 
village in this county is Rochester, 7 iniles S. of lake Ontario at the falls of Genesee river, in the towns of 
Brighton and (iatss, and was first settled in 1812. This village has now a population of 9,969. 519,725 barrels of 
flour were shipped from this place on the canal and down the lake from August 20th 1828, to December 1st 1830. 

In 1830, 1512 vessels arrived at New-York from foreign ports, of whicTi 1366 were American, 92 British, 7 
Spanish, 12 Swedish, 2 Hamburg, 5 French, 8 Bremen, 6 Haytian, 9 Danish, 2 Brazilian, 2 Dutch, and 1 
Portuguese. The revenue of the customs, the same year, was about 13 millions of dollars The number of 
passengers brought by the above vessels was 30,224. The number of arrivals at New- York Ironi foreign ports 
in 1829 was 1310 — passengers, 16064. At the port of New-York, in 1830, the amount of registered tonnage of 
American vessels engaged in foreign commerce was 284,169 tons: do. engaged in the coasting trade, 39,000 
tons. Licensed vessels engaged in the coasting and river trade, 90,294 tons — and licensed for the lisheries 457 
tons. In 1830 there were exported from N. Y. 304,352 barrels of wheat Hour, 174,182 bushels of corn, 12,099 
tierces flax seed, 23,765 barrels pot and pearl ashes, 104,940 bales of cotton, and 5,306 packages of domestic 
cotton goods. 

This state is bounded north by Lower Canada, east by Vermont, Massachusetts and Connecticut; south 
by New Jersey and Pennsylvania, and west and north west by Upper Canada. Between 40° 30' and 45"

NEW-JERSEY. 

This state was first settled by the Danes, at Bergen, about the year 1624. This country was mhabited by 
the Swedes and Dutch for many years. The soil of tliis state is not naturally well adajjtod to agricul- 
tural purstuts, much of the land being either marshy or sandy ; yet its proximity to two of the largest 
niarkets-in the United States, and the industry of its inhabitants have rendered it exceedingly productive of all 
sorts of fruits and vegetables common to the climate, together with grain and meats of various kinds. This state 
has many rivers navigable for small vessels. The beautiful fall of 70 feet perpendicular on the Passaic river at 
Paterson, 14 miles N? W. from New-York, and 15 miles N. of Newark, is finely adapted, and well improved for 
manufacturing purposes. 

Amhoy, in Lat. 40° 31' N. and W. Lon. 74° 11', at the mouth of the Raritan river, 23 miles fromNew-York ; 
land-loclie'd by Staten Island, and approachable from the sea by almost any wind, has one of the best harbours on 
the continent. This state has abundant mineral resources, particularly iron of an excellent quality. _ 

This state has a bank capital of ujiwards of 5 millions; and in 1829 a school fund of about $246,000. From 
the school fund, and a tax on the bank capital, a liberal appropriation is made for common schools in this state. 

This state is bounded north by New-York ; east by the Atlantic ocean and New-York ; south by Delaware

PENNSYLVANIA. ^ ,. ^ ..... 

William Penn, the founder of this powerful state, was the son of Sir William Penn, an admiral m the 
British navy. He united himself with the society of Friends, then a persecuted sect in England. For services 
rendered by his father, king Charles the second, in 1681, gave him a tract of land in the western world, and 
called it Pennsylvania. Penn, with about 2000 followers landed at New Castle, on the Delaware, in 1682. 
and proceeding up the river, planned Philadelphia, "the city of brotheriy love," and erected about 80 buildings 
in the same ySir. The piety, philanthropy, and wisdom of its founder, the fertility of its soil, the healthiness 
ofitsclimate; the pacific disposition of the natives, and the lessons of experience derived by the settlement of 
other colonies in eariier days and under more rigorous skies, all conspired to render tins colony the most pros- 
perous of any of which history gives an account. Penn died in 1718 aged 74 years. 

The resources of this state are immense; and the character of the people is well calculated to give them a 
proper direction. The beautiful Delaware, and other navigable waters of Pennsylvania, its canals and hue 
roads furnish Philadelphia with a great amount of domestic exports, and render it one of the most important marts 
of foreign and domestic commerce in the United States. i i, n 

Pennsylvania is the greatest, manulacturing state in the union, and Philadelphia takes the like rank among 
our manufacturing cities. This state yields to no other in the variety and extent of its mineral treasures, par- 
ticularly in its exhaustless mines of anthracite and liituminous coal. It would also be unjust to omit honourable 
mention of the extensive and costly system of canals and railways, which are either completed or in progress, 
under the patronarre of the state, for which, and other internal improvements 15 million of dollars are already 
expended or appro(°riated. The Bank capital of this state is $12,815, 334. Harrisburg, lU capital town is 98 
miles W. N. W. of Philadelphia. ^ ^ t^ , ,u , 

This state is bounded north by New-York ; east by New Jersey ; south east by Delaware ; south by 
Maryland and Virginia ; and west by Virginia and Ohio. Situated between 39° 43' and 42 1'-' N . Lat^ and 
72° 35' and 80° 26' W. Lon. Cape Heulopen, at the south entrance of Delaware bay, is in Lat Jfa- oof N

DELAWARE. ,„ , , , 

The first Europeans that settled this state were a party of Swedes and Finns, who,un<Jer the patronage of 
Gustavus Adolphus landed at Cape Henlopen in 1627. They purchased lands of the Indians on both sides of 
the river Delaware, and settled themselves at Lewistown, and at the mouth of Christiana Creek, near Wilmington. 
In 1655 the Dutch took possession of this country, and retained it until the New-Netherlands were subjuga- 
ted by the English in 1664. This country was formerly called the " Territories" and afterwards the " three 
Lower Counties on Delaware" and for many years was under tlie jurisdiction of Pennsylvania. 

The name of this state, of the hay and river, is derived from Lonl De la War, one of the first settlers of 
Virginia. This state is generally low and level, is chiefly agricultural, and produces all the staples and luxu- 
rics'common to its climate, particularly wheat, of which laVge quantities are floured and exported. The people 
of this state have always been as celebrated for their patriotism as the " Delaware regiment" was for its 
bravery. , ,■ • 

An important work has lately been completed, the Chesapeake and Delaware canal, which crosses the 
northern part of the state, and unites the two great bays by sloop navigation. 

This state has a school fund of S170.000. No district is entitled to any share of this fund, that will not raise, 
by taxation, a sum equal to its share of the income of the fund. Bank capital SI, 050,000. 

' This state is hounded north by Pennsylvania ; east by Delaware river, Delaware bay, and the Atlantic 
ocean; and south and west by Maryland. Situated between 38' 29' and 39° SC N. Lat. and 74° 56' and 
75°40'W.Lon. 

MARYLAND. 

About 200 Roman Catholics from England, under a grant Irom Charles the first to Lord Baltimore, were 
the first white settlers in this state. They arrived at the mouth of the Potomac in Fchruar\-, 1634, and purchased of 
the Indians a large village where St.Mary;s now stands : Lord Baltimore died in 1676, much honouredand beloved. 

This colony was an asylum for the persecuted of religious sects from all parts of the world ; which circum- 
stance, with the hospitality of the natives, the fruitfulness of its soil, and the mildness of its climate, tended 
greatly to its early growth and prosperity. This state is well watered by many rivers emptying into its spacious 
Chesapeake bay, afibrdin" many facilities for the navigation of large and small craft. The soil of this state is 
adapted lo the growth of all sorts' of grain, and other commodities suited to its latitude. Its exports of flour and 
other bread stuffs are immense ; tobacco is also a staple article. 

The genuine white wheat, and the bright kites foot tobacco, are said to be peculiar to Maryland. 
Its beautiful capital city, Baltimore, is now an important mart of trade ; and when her splendid internal im- 
provements arc completed, will be one of the most favourable positions for foreign and domestic commerce in the 
U. S. Cape Henry, the S. point of entrance into the Chesapeake bay is in N. Lat. 36° 58' and W. Lon. 75° 55'. 

The capita] of this state is Annapolis, SO miles S. of Baltimore. Bank capital about lOj millions. The 
school fund is derived from $75,000 paid by the U. S. for advances made by Marjdand during the late war, 
and by a tax of 20 cents on every SlOO hank capital. 

This state is hounded north by Pennsylvania ; east by Delaware, and the Atlantic ocean ; south and west 
by Virginia. Situated between 38° and 39° 43' North Lat. and 75° 15' and 79° 25' west Lon. 

DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA. 

In the year 1790 the states of J.laryland and Virginia ceded to the U. S. the territory of this district for the 
purposes of a national capital ; and in 1800 it became the seat of the general government of the United States. 

This district is delightfully situated on both sides of the Potomac. The land is finely elevated, rather 
sterile, but pleasantly diversified by hill and dale. The climate is esteemed very healthy. The mean tempera- 
ture is about 55° of Fahrenheit. The city rf Washington is not only the capital of the nation hut also of the 
district. It is under the imiiiediate government of congress. Georgetown and Alexandria are within its limits. 

The capital is in Lat. 38° 52' 45' iV. and 76° 55' 30" W. Lon. from Greenwich. The Capitol in Wash- 
ington is a massive building of the Corinthian order, of free-stone, about 350 feet in front, which, with the presi- 
dent's house, and offices for the several departments, is in a style suited to the convenience and dignity of their 
objects. 

The English made an inroad upon this district and either destroyed or much damaged the public buildings at 
Washington on the 24th of August 1814. The trade of this district is considerable ; but it will doubtless be 
much augmented when the canal from Washington to the Ohio is completed. 

The Congress of the United States meets at Washington on the first Monday of December annually, unless 
it is otherwise provided by law. 

VIRGINIA. 

Three ships with one hundred and five persons, under the command of Christopher Newport, in the service of 
the London Company, having on board Captain Gosnald and other men of standing, arrived from England at 
the mouth of the Chesapeake bay on the 26th of April, 1607. On the 13th of May following they landed and 
settled at Jamestown, on James river. The object of these adventurers was partly curiosity to see a new race 
of beings ; hut chiefly to acquire wealth by finding silver and gold, with which this country was supposed to 
abound. Among these adventurers was John Smith, a man of great boldness of character, and one who had 
been well schooled in the knowledge of human nature both by travelling and adversity. 

North America was then a wilderness, inhabited only by a race of men who had no written language, and no 
tradition whereby their origin can be known. They hved in tribes, scattered over the country, each governed by 
a chief, or king. They subsisted by hunting and fishing, and by cultivating small quantities of Indian corn. 
They were darker in color than the Spaniard, but not so black as the negro. 

They were unacquainted with the arts, and even with the use of metals. Their weapons of war were a bow 
and arrows, a stone hatchet, or tomahawk, and a club. They were brave, and susceptible of all the best and 
worst feelings common to humanity. The colonists at first suffered exceedingly from their own improvidence, 
■ Mid the conduct of the natives towards them. Were it not for the extraordinary exertions and enterprize of 
Smith, and the kmdness of Pocahontas, the daughter of Powhatan, a powerful Indian king, this embryo of a 
Herculean nation would have perished. About the year 1613, Pocahontas married Mr. Rolfe, a respectable 
Virginia planter. They went to England, and after receiving from the king and queen the honors due to her 
rank, and their acknowledgments for her valuable and disinterested services, she died,- leaving one child. The 
vu:tues and graces of this amiable woman will always live in American story ; among the best'sons of Virginia 
are those who count with pride the drops of her blood circulating in their veins. In 1620 and 1621 one hundred 
and fifty young women were sent from England and sold to the planters as wives, at prices varying from 100 
to 150 pounds of tobacco, then worth three shillings the pound. About this time twenty negroes were landed 
from a Dutch vessel and sold for slaves ! 

In 1688 the population of Virginia was about 60,000. The face of this country is much diversified. The 
part towards the sea is low and level ; some of it is marshy : to the west it rises by degrees »nd becomes moun- 
**'t?u-^' '^^^ '^°'^ '^ ''"''^ productive, and large exports are made from this state of flour, corn and tobacco. 

This state is intersected by many beautiful navigable rivers, of which the Potomac, Shenandoah, James and 
Rappahannoc are the most considerable. Virginia, often called the "Ancient Dominion," is celebrated for her 
mines and minerals; for her curious caves, springs, and natural bridges; for the urbanity and intelligence of her 
citizens ; for her seconding the movements for American Independence ; and, above all, for her being the mother 
of the Father of his country. 

This state is bounded north by Pennsylvania and Maryland, north east by Maryland ; east by the Atlantic 
ocean ; south by North Carolina and Tennessee ; and west by Kentucky and Oliio. Situated between 36° 
i3 and 40° 39' N. Lat. and 75° 35' and 83° 29' W. Lon. 

This state has a bank capital of S5,607,000, and a Literary Fund of $1,233,523. $45,000 of this fund la 
*?So 1 '' *PP''"Pri»'«cl to the education of the poor. This state has also a fund devoted to internal unproveineiits 
of $2,100,591. The whole canitalcmployctl within tliis state, in internal improvements, is about 3j millions. 



,, , .,,, MOKTH CAMOI.IMA. 

About the year 1645, a nmuber ot Virginians took possession of tlie country north of Albemarle Sound. 
They appear to have livej without much regard to law. In KiOl a stttlenient was made near the Clarendon 
river by adventurers from Massachusetts, which was abandoned by them in 1063, and their place w.a3 soon after 
supiilied by emigrants from Barbadocs. North and South Carolina were included in one grant from Charles 
the 1st in 1630, under the name of Carolina. 

About leTii, two governments were established in Carolina under their present names, yet both were 
under the direction of the same proprietors until 1729. 1 his country is low, level, and exceedingly marshy for 
50 or 80 miles from the sea, it then becomes mountainous. 

This state produces cotton, rice, tobacco, wheat, corn, fine oak and pitch pine timber. Much tar and turpen- 
tine are made in this state. Many of its rivers are navigable for a considerable distance, for such vessels as can 
pass the bars at their mouths. 

1' is the misfortune of North Carolina that she has no good harbors. A still greater misfortune is the 
'iihealthiness of her seaboard generally. The hilly and mountainous tracts, however, enjoy a salubrious climate. 
There is on uncommon variety of climate and productions within the limits of this state. Gold has of late 
years been Ibuml in large quantities, and it is now believed that North Carolina is the centre of the great gold 
region of the United States. 

By a report of the directors of the mint to Congress for 1831, it is stated that there was received from 
N. Carolina, $294,000 worth of gold ; from Virginia, §:26,000 ; and from Georgia, $176,000. Alabama 
and Tennessee furnished gold bullion to the amount of about $2,000 ; " indicating, (as the report remarks,) 
the ])rogressive development of the gold region." This section of country is naturally divided into three 
zones, presenting very distinct and appropriate features. The first is near the sea, and quite unhealthy. 
The second is the sand hill tract, interspei'sed with some valuable river alluvial land. The third is the 
hilly and mountainous tra^t, which is the most extensive and fertile portion. The latter and middle 
tracts are as favorable to health as any section of our country as low as forty degrees north. 

Capes Hatteras, Fear, and Look Out are on this coast. Hatteras is in Lat. 35° 15' N. and Lon. 75° 30' W. 
Much of the trade of this state passes to South Carolina and Virginia. 

This state has a bank capital of 83,700,000, and a common school fund of $70,000. The " Great Dismal 
Swamp" in this state, covering about 140,000 acres, extends from Albemarle, to Pamlico Sound. A canal 
of 2'2J miles long, 38 feet wide and 5J feet deep passing through this swamp is in operation and grcjtly facili- 
tates the trade of the state. 

This state is bounded north by Virginia : east by the Atlantic ocean, south by South Carolina, and 
west by Tennessee. Situated between 33° 53' and 3<;° 33' North Lat. and 75° 45' and 84° W. Lon. 

SOUTH CAROLINA. 

The territory of this state and North Carolina was in the same grant from King Charles 1. in 1630. In 1670 
the governor of Carolina planted a settlement at Port Royal, or Beaufort. The Dutch, French and English, 
all from diflerent motives, made settlements in South Carolina. This country, for more than 100 miles from 
the sea, is low, abounding with sw:imps and marshes. About 150 miles west of Charleston is the ridge, a tract 
of high land, beyond which the country becomes much elevated. 

Tliis state has many beatable rivers, which, vrith its safe and convenient navigation among a great number of 
fertile sea islands, makes Charleston a city of much commercial importance. The soil of this state is various, 
producing cotton, rice, indigo, tobacco, wheat, corn, fine timber, a great variety of fruits, medicinal plants and 
dyestuffs. 

South Carolina is eminently on agricultural state : in each of its various divisions of soil, peculiar plants can 
be reared in abundance. The climate has the heat ofthe tropics, and the changeableness of more northern skies. 
This state is noted forits patriotism during the struggle for independence, and for the hospitality of its inhabitants. 

The character ofthe people of this state is perhaps more definitely formed than that of any part ofthe U. S. 
Warm, generous and brave, they are also passionate and indolent. 

Bank capital S6.631.833. An annual appropriation is made by the legislature of about $40,000 for the support 
of free-schools. Charleston Light. L. 32° 44' N. Lon: 79° 40' W. 

This state is bounded north and north east by North Carolina ; south east by the Atlantic ocean ; and south 
west by Georgia. Situated between 32° and 35° 10' North Lat. and 78° 30' and 83° 10' West Lon. 

GEORGIA. 

In 1732, some benevolent gentlemen in England concerted a project for planting a colony in the southern 
part ofthe territory included in the Carolina charter, for the purpose of transporting thither the indigent sub- 
jects of Great Britain, and the persecuted protestants of all nations. General James Oglethorpe was a great 
promoter of this philanthropic scheme. In 1773, a number of emigrants arrived and settled at Yamacraw 
blufij or Savannah. By the liberality of the proprietors in extending their patronage alike to all classes of 
emigrants, as early as 1740 the number of settlers was 2498. 

The Alleghany and Apalachian mountains terminate in this State. They extend north through the Carolinas, 
Virginia, Maryland and Pennsylvania, to the Cattskill in New- York. 

It is thought that the diversity of soil is greater in Georgia than in any other single state in the union. 
About one Balf is flat, alluvial land, the residue hilly or mountainous, and abundantly fertile. Many valuable 
tropical productions can be cultivated in this state. Oranges, olives, figs, and other articles, which are stran- 
gers at the north, are easily raised. The flat land is, however, like that of Carolina, quite unhealthy. This 
state is bounded north by' Tennessee ; north east by South-Carolina; south east by the Atlantic ocean; south 
by Florida, and west by Alabama. Savannah and Augusta are its chief marts of trade. Cotton and tobacco 
are its staple articles. 

This state has a bank capital of $6,882,340, and considerable funds for the support of academies and 
common schools. 

Two considerable tribes of Indians reside partly within the chartered limits of this state, the Cherokees and 
Creeks. The Cherokees have made more rapid advances in the arts of civilized life than any other tribe of 
N. American Indians. In 1827 the population of this tribe was 13,563. They owned 1,277 slaves. Their 
increase for 6 years was 3,563. In 1801 the Mission at Sprmg Place was established ; since which tune many 
others have been brought into successful operation. 

In 1827, 500 native children attended the missionary schools, all learning the English language.

ALABAMA. , ^ „ ,,, 

This state is bounded north by Tennessee ; east by Georgia ; south by Florida and the gulf of Mexico ; 
and west by Mississippi. Between Lat. 30° 12' and 35° N. The face of this state is much diversified, and 
its soil differs in quality from the best tu the worst. That part of the state that Ues along the gulf of Mexico 
is low, marshy and sandy, and is unhealthy : about 10 miles from the coast the country becomes more ele- 
vated and more healthy, "but less productive. As in this section of country generally, the land decreases in 
value on receding from the rivers. This state abounds in rivers, some of which are boatable for a great 
distance. The most important of these are the Tombigbee, Alabama and Tennessee. The latter passes through 
the northe'n section of the state ; and the two former, after meandering through nearly the whole extent ol the 
state, fall into Mobile bay, near the town of Mobile. 

All parts of this state are productive of maize ; and small grain is raised in its hilly and northern parts. 
Cotton is the chief staple. A great variety of fruits arc easily cultivated here, such as the apple, pear, peach and 
plum ; and even the fig and pomegranate in the lowest latitudes. 

Mobile, in N. Lat. 30° 40' and W. Lon. 88° 1 1, is the mart of trade of this state. It is a place of increasing 
importance, but its growth is impeded by the sand bars at the mouth of its harbor. . , , 

The capital of this state is Tuscaloosa, 226 mUes E. of N. from Mobile. This state has a bank capital of 
upwards of a million, and a large tiind for internal improvements. Congress has been liberal to Alabama m 
prantincr to her ireat resources for the ad\ancemcnt of education. 



9 
MISSISSIPPI. 

This state takes its name from the great river wliich loriiis the chiet part of its western boundary. Ita 
soil is various. Two-thirds of the state are supposed to be covered with pine forest, and only about } 
part is either blufl^ or river alluvial ; this portion of the soil is however of remarkable fertility. It is chieHy 
confined to the west and south west parts of the state, and these accordingly contain a large share of the 
white inhabitants, leaving the northeastern part to the almost exclusive possession of the Indians. There 
is a sea coast of about 80 miles, but not a single harbor, so that New Orleans is the mart of the state. This 
state has a large range of Latitude, and its climate is quite variable ; Ihe thermometer at Natchez has 
stood as low as 1*3 above zero of Fahrenheit. The seasons are however generally mild and warm. Cotton is 
the great staple ; the fig abounds south of 3-2°, but the orange is not entirely safe from occasional frost. The 
natural and exotic productions of the soil are innumerable. Among the animals, the alligator may be mentioned 
as being often found in the streams. Mississippi was formerly a part of Georgia. Perhaps no 
place wiTi be more appropriate than this for a brief description of the basin of the iUississippi. This immense 
territory is believed to comprise an extent of more than 1|'2U0,(J00 square miles, the whole of which is drained 
by the Mississippi and its confluents, and the united mass poured through the delta of Louisiana into the 
gulf of Mexico. The greatest length of the Missouri, from its remotest source, to the gulf of Mexico, is esti- 
mated at 4,500 miles; that of the Mississippi proper at '2,700. The whole basin may be divided into 4 great 
valleys ; those of the Ohio, the Upper Mississippi, the Missouri, and the Lower Mississippi. The Ohio valley 
IS a vast inclined plane, into which the chief river and its tributaries have v,'orn deep channels. Two very 
remarkable facts should be noticed. The one is that all that part of this tract above Pittsburg, is at least 200 
feet above lake Erie, and if a channel should be formed from that place to the lake, the gentle waters of the 
Ohio would leave tiieir present bed, and rush in a torrent to swell the St. Lawrence. The other fact is that 
the waters of this vallcv do not flow in the bottom of the real slope of the inclined plane ; that bottom is indica- 
ted by the course of the Illinois river. This great valley has a broken, and in the south east a mountainous 
surface ; generally it has a temperate climate, and a richly fertile soil. Its staples are wheat, and the other 
cereal gramina. The Upper Mississippi vallei/ is widely difierent from the preceding. The climate is colder j 
and here we enter upon those boundless prairies, which produce not a single tree, and are in general suitable 
only for the pasture of cattle. Vast tracts around the head waters of the Mississippi are only a marshy plain. 
The waters have a sluggish descent, and the region is of course imperfectly drained. This valley has little to 
invite settlers in comparison with the beautiful countries of the Ohio, and forms a gradual approach to the next 
subdivision of the Mississippi basin. The Missouri valley is by far the most extensive of the four valleys, 
containing nearly one half the surface of the whole basin. Here may be observed the muddy nature of the 
water, and another curious fact, that all the great tributaries of the Missouri flow from its right bank, and only 
unimportant streams from the left. But the chief circumstance which deserves to be mentioned of this valley 
is, that with the exception of narrow tracts along the margins of the rivers, the whole of this vast territory is 
one boundless prairie. In sunnner it is described as an arid waste, and in winter the bleak winds from the 
north sweep over it without obstruction. It is however represented to be abundantly stored with valuable 
mineral productions, as coal, iron, &c. The valley of the lower Mississippi is the last of these great valleys, 
and is perhaps, of all parts of the. U. S. the most diversified in surface, climate, soil and productions. On the 
margin of the rivers is some of the richest land in the world; then follow impenetrable swamps and morasses; 
farther on, a beautiful undulating, and wooded territory, while over other tracts those interminable prairies extend, 
which seem only intended for the dwelling of the bulfalo and the deer. In these last much resemblance is 
found with the steppes of the interior of Asia : among other things, the fact that some of the rivers as the Arkan- 
saw. Red, &c. are made brackish by the extensive beds of salt over which they roll. Natchez, the principal 
commercial mart of this state, is situated on elevated ground on the left bank of the Mississippi, in N. Lat. 
31° 33' and W Lon. 91°25'. 

The only bank in this state is at Natchez. Its capital is $1,000,000 and has, withits branches, exclusive banking 
privileges until 1840. Its dividends, for several years past, have averaged nearly I'2 percent per annum. This 
state has a literary fund of about S30,000, but no part of it is available till it shall amount to $50,000. As yet 
no system of primary schools has been adopted in this state. 

The Choctaw and Chickasaw tribes of Indians own more than half of the territory of this state. 

This state is bounded N. by Tennessee ; E. by Alabama ; S. by the gulf of Mexico and Louisiana ; W. by 
Louisiana and the Arkansas territory. Between Lat. 30° 10' and 35° N. and Lon. 88° 10' and 91° 35' W. 

LOUISIANA. 

There is perhaps no portion of the world, of the extent ot Louisiana, which has so great a variety of soils, or 
BO many water courses within its territory. This state has about six million acres of alluvial land of superior 
excellence ; the residue of her soil, about 24 million acres, consisting of pine forests, prairie, river inundated 
land, and sea marsh, is, for the most part, unfit fir agricultural purposes. 

There is but little land of a medium quality in Louisiana : it is generally either extremely fertile, or 
entirely worthless ; and from the vast proportion of the soil which can never be used for agricultural pur- 
poses, It can never be expected that this state should support a population equally dense with those of the 
northern states. It is observable that the settlements in Louisiana are not in spots, or groups, but in lines or 
strips, along the margfins of the rivers. Extremes of manners prevail as well as of soils ; from the highest degree 
of luxury and refinement in the rich planters near New Orleans, to the semi barbarism of the wild hunters of 
the buffalo and the deer, upon the toundless prairies of the south west. Throughout the state there is nearly an 
equal mixture of the French and American population, but the latter is fast gaining ground. Louisiana has 
set her sister states the example of leaving the English law, and forming for herself a valual le code, modelled 
upon the civil law. 

The .Mississippi river passes the whole "length of this state, and on its left bank, about 105 miles from the sea, 
stands New Orleans, the great store bouse of a large portion of the productions ol this interesting section of the 
western world. New Orleans was fiist settled by the French, about the year 1717. It is 304 miles, bv water, 
below Natchez, 1148 below St. Louis, 977 below the mouth of the Ohio, 1480 below Cincinnati, and 1929 miles 
below Pittsburg. 

From the mouth of Red river to Natchitoches, Lou. is 186 miles ; from the mouth of the Tennessee, to 
Florence, Al. 300 ; and from the mouth of the Cumberland to Nashville, is 203 miles. Chillicothe, Ohio, 
is 45, and Colujibus 90 miles, on the Scioto river, from Portsmouth on the Ohio. From St. Louis to the 
head of the Mississippi is 1618, and from that place to the supposed source of the Missouri, is 3,235 miles. 
Although the climate, at the outlet to the ocean, of the almost boundless waters which unite at New. 
Orleans, is exceedingly unfavorable to health in summer months — and tlie eft'orts to attract the trade of 
this immense region to the cast and north, by canals and rail roads, through a country afl'ording unequalled 
facilities for projects of that nature, are great and untiring; still New.Orleans must remain one of the 
first marts of commerce in the world. The amount of domestic produce and manufactures exported from 
New-Orleans in the year 1818, was fglfi,771,711. 

The freight of goods up the Mississippi and Ohio from New Orleans varies according to the state of the waters. 
When the rivers are most favorable, 50 cents per cwt. is the usual price to St. Louis and Cinciimati. Insurance 
from New Oi leans to those places, about IJ per cent. 

This state comprises the southern part of a large tract of country purchased by the U. S. of France in 1S03. 
The river JMississippi was discovered by two French Missionaries in 1673. The country was afterwards explored, 
and, in honour of Louis the XIV. was called Louisiana. 

This slate has a bank capital of about 39,000,000. The capital invested in the cultivation of the sugar cane 
is supposed to amount to 30 millions of dollars. 50,000 hogsheads of sugar are considered an average crop, and 
5 per. cent, is considered an average prof' The number of steam boats actually running on the Mississippi 
and its tributary strea ns in 1830 was '213. The first steam boat on these waters commenced running in ISl^. 
By legislative enactment nearly S40,000 arc annually appropriated to the education of the poor. 

This state is bounded N. by the Arkansas territory; E. by .Mississippi ; S. by the gulf of Mexico, and W by 
the Mexican states Between Lat. 29° and 33° N. and Lon. 89° and 94' W.

^ This state was first settled by the wliitt-s in 17G5, and was t'onmrly a part of North Carolina and ceded hy 
that state to the United States in 1789. In consequence of a part of' this state being very low, and a part of 
it very high land, the soil and climate are more various than in any other portion of the United States whose 
ilifl'i-rencc of latitude is only 1° 40'. The soil of this state is generally very luxuriant, and produces large crops 
of ciitton, wheat, rice, and tobacco. 

There are probably few tracts of country in the U. S. more finely watered than Tennessee : it is completely 
veined by navigable rivers. Being remote from the sea, it is not exposed to sudden changes in temperature'; 
the winters arc quite mild, so that it has been observed that the season of vegetation lasts at least three monllis 
longer here than in Maine or New Hampshire. Tlie Indians who still reside here are among the best speci- 
mens of the sons of the forest ; so much have industry and civilization improved the ir manners. 

Its chief rivers are tlie Missis.si|i|ji, wliich washes 'its western borders; and the Tennessee and Cumberland, 
which rise in or near the Cumberland mountains, and alter meandering through a large tract of country fall into 
the Ohio, a few miles above the junction of that river w ith the i^]is^issi)l))i. 

Its trade is down the Mississijipi to New Orleans. Nashville is a considerable place of trade, 430 miles N. E. 
of Natchez, and 480 miles N. N. E. of I.'cw Orleans, by the Jackson road. 

Bounded north by Kentucky ; east by North Carolina ; south by Georgia, Alabama and Mississippi ; and 
west by Mississippi river. Between 35° and 3(j° 40' North Lat. and 81° 45' and SO" 3' 'West Lon. 

KENTUCKY. 

This state is bounded north by Ohio and Indiana ; east by Virginia ; south by Tennessee ; west by Illinois 
and Missouri; between 30° 30'' and 3;t° 10' North Lat. and 81° 45' and 89° West I.nn. This'territory 
was a part of Virginia until l~'J'2, when it became a state. The climate is very fine, and the soil superior for 
agricultural purposes. 

The first white settlers removed to Kentucky in 1775, and its growth has been ever since exceedingly rapid. 
The external appearance of things is so inviting, that it has been called the " garden of the west." It is richly 
wooded, an<l has an immense variety of Howering plants and shrubs. Nor is this beauty deceptive, for a large 
[■art of the state is covered with a deep strong soil. Nearly the whole country rests on a lime stone tbundation, 
i nto which the rivers have worn deep channels, of course leaving the banks bold and precipitous. In the summer, 
there is in many parts, great difficulty in procuring fresh water. Till steam boats navigated the Mississippi, 
almost all the salt used in these regions was obtained from salt springs, or licks, so called, because the bullaloes 
and other wild animals used to come to these springs and lick up the earth around that was saturated with salt. 

Its staples are wheat, corn, cattle, hemp and salt. Its commercial outlet is by the river Ohio, which washes the 
whole of its north-western boundary. The Kentucky, Sandy, Licking and Cumberland, are its principal 
rivers. They take their rise in the Cumberland mountains, and fall into the Ohio river. 

Louisville, in Lat. 38° 3' N. and Lon. 85° 30' W. above the rapids of the Ohio, 13'2 miles below Cincinnati, 
and Lexington, 70 miles E. of Louisville, are the principal inland marts of the commerce of this state. A canal 
passes around the falls of the Ohio at Louisville. Louisville is one of the most promising towns in the western 
country. 

OHIO. 

This state was formerly a part of the north western territory. It is bounded S. E. by the Ohio river, or 
Virginia; south by Ohio river, or Kentucky; west by Indiana; north by Michigan territory and Lake Erie, 
and E. by N. by Pennsylvania. Situated between 38° 30' and 42° N. Lat. and 80° 20' and 84° 43' W. Lon. 
The first permanent settlement of the whites in this state was commenced in 1788, at Marietta, near the 
junction of the Ohio and Muskingum rivers in Lat. 39° 25' N. and Lon 81° 18' W. 172 miles below Pittsburg. 
The waters of the Ohio and its tributary streams, with those of Lake Erie afford this state peculiar privileges. 
The best proof that can be given of the exuberance of its soil and the industry and enterprize of its people is 
to state the fact, unprecedented in the settlement of any country, that in 1783 this territory was inhabited only by 
savages ; and that in 1830 it had a population of nearly a million, enjoying all the comforts and luxuries o( 
civilized life in profusion, v\ithout a slave to teach them the blessings of liberty; and with minds and means to 
foster good schools, the bane of slavery. 

This state is eminently agricultural, and has many and various staples ; wheat, however, is the principal. 
Some ancient fortifications have been ibund in this state, and other traces of a people far exceeding in civiliza- 
tion any of the present tribes of N. American Indians. This state has a school fund of $150,000; and one 
mill on a dollar of the estimated property of the state is annually levied and appropriated to the maintenance ot 
common schools. One thirty sixth part of the land in this, and other new states in the west, is devoted to purpo- 
ses of education. 

The trade of this, with the Atlantic states is very considerable ; and is carried on by the rivers Ohio and 
Mississippi to New Orleans; and by lake, canal and river navigation to New York. Cincinnati, in Lat. 
39° 6' N. and Lon. 84° 22' W. was first settled in 1789, and has become one of the most important inland 
depots of commerce in the world. From 15th February, 1830, to February 15, 1831, there were 1277 vessels 
arrived at Cincinnati, and 1203 departed from thence. When the Baltunore and Ohio rail way and canal are 
finished much of the trade of this stale will go to Baltimore. 

Yet, notwithstanding the powerful spirit of enterprise, and the vast sums expended and appropriated 
by the states of Pennsylvania and Maryland to divert the trade of this and other western states to their 
respective capitals, and the increasing facilities tor the navigation of the Ohio and Mississippi to New- 
Orleans ; still, the peculiarly favorable position of the city of New. York, together with the gigantic 
schemes of internal improvement, formed by the state of New York and the western states, aided by 
unparalleled natural advantages, — must give to the " commercial emporium" the largest share of the com- 
merce of this rich and rapidly increasing part of our country. By a report of the Auditor of this state, for 
1830, the amount of taxable property was .$04,580,055. Among the items of taxes for 1830, $226,716 
are for state and canal, and $224,207 for county and school. Total tax for 1830, $559,074. Bank 
capital, $1,600,000. 

IR^DIAWA. 
This state was formerly a part of the north w.stcrn territor v. It was erected into a territorial government in 1800. 
it is bounded north and'north west by Ivlichi^an territory and lake ; east by Ohio; south by Kentucky, or the 
Ohio river ; and west by Illinois. It'lies bel wi^cn 37° 47' and 41° 46' north Lat. and 84° 43 and 87° 55' west 
Lon. The face of this country is more level ihan that of Ohio : Its productions are much the same, although 
there is not so large a proportion of good land. 

Yet there are parts of this state not exceeded in fertility by any country ; the vegetable soil has in many 
places measured 22 feet in depth. The most striking feature in the geography of Indiana is the Prairies, ol 
natural meadows, which extend over a large iiortion of the state. They are destitute of trees, and covered with 
grass and wild fiowers, of 6 or 8 feet hich. These prairies cover a vast extent of country north west of the Ohio, 
and also on tlie west of the Mississippi. They afford pasturage to countless herds of bulTalocs, deer, and various 
other wild animals. . 

Its principal river is the Wabash wliich is boatable for 340 miles. This river approaches within nine miles 
of the navigable waters of Lake Erie : It falls into the Ohio 128 miles above the junction of that river with the 
Mississippi, or 1105 miles from New Orleans. A canal is in progress between the Wabash and the Maumee, 
which falls into Lake Erie; which, when accomphshed, will aflbrd Indiana a sale and easy intercourse with 
Npw York. 

Vincenncs and lndi,inapolis are ilourishinsr towns ; the former is on the Wabash ; in N. Lat. 39° 47' and 
W. Lou. 85° 58'. The course of the trade of this state is at present down the Ohio and Mississippi to New 
Orleans ; one thirty sixth part of the public lands in this state are appropriated for the support of schools. 



' u 

There is no section of our country of eqiial extent whose soil anJ chmatc are so well adapted to all kinds 
of agricultural purposes, or whose wntcr conmmiiications with the ocean are more numerous and important 
than those of Illinois. The fare of tliis country is t'euerally cither prairie, or rolliuj, rather than hilly land j it 
is mostly level in its eastern section. There is but little if any waste land in this state ; and at tliis period there 
are large portions cf its territory, of superior soil and climate, densely covered with forest timber, for sale at jirices 
well worthy the attention of the settler or speculator. Illinois river, which traverses the whole of the centre of 
this state, and falls into the Mississippi 36 miles above St. Louis, 1184 above New Orleans, is a subject of curi- 
osity, in as mucli as it is the natural link between the almost lioundless waters of the Mississi])pi basin, and 
those of the western lakes. The distance from the mouth of the llhnois to Chicago, on Michigan lake, is 
upwards of 400 miles, yet the fall from a summit level on that river, both to the Mississippi and to lake M ii-higan 
does not exceed 60 feet. Loaded boats of considerable size pass on that river, to and from those distant waters, 
in the season of freshets, without any effort of art to facilitate the navigation. 

But few sections of the globe can compare with this state in its natural water communications and in the 
choice of markets which those communications aflbrd. A safe, expeditious, and probably as cheap a method 
as a traveller from the eastern and northern sections of the U. S. can adopt to reach Vaudalia, the capital of 
Illinois, with or without heavy baggage, is to take the Erie canal at Albany to Buffalo, 363 miles ; thence to the 
mouth of the Maumce river in Ohio, at the S.W. extremity of that lake, about 250 miles ; thence up the Maumee 
80 miles to a portage of 5 miles to the Wabash ; then down the Wabash about 210 miles to Palestine, 
Illinois, and from thence to Van.lalia aliout 80 miles by land. Whole distance from Albany to Vandalia lUiS 
miles. Passage from Albany to Buffalo by canal boats, $5 ; from Buffalo to Sandusky bay, or Detroit, by sloop 
navigation aliout $3. Freight from New York to Albany, 144 miles, ©2 20, from Albany to Buffalo S20, 
and from Butlalo to Sandusky, or Detroit, $5 60 per ton. Freight doicn to Albany about 50 per cent. less. 
Transjiortation on the interior rivers about the same as on the canal, and land carriage rather le.ss than in New 
England. When the Miami canal is finished, from the Maumee to Cincinnati, a good passage njay be obtained 
that way ; but the distance, if not the expense, will be much increased. 

When it is considered that the insurance by river, canal and lake navigation is very trifling, and the passage 
for eight months in the year, certain ; whilst the insurance to and up the Mississippi is very considerable, and 
the passag'^ circuitous, slow and uncertain ; the northern route to and from this region is decidedly preferable. 

The rellcction has been naturally suggested, that "if we glance an eye over the immense regions thus con- 
nected ; if we regard the fertility of soil, the multiplicity of product which characterize those regions; and if 
we combine those advantages afforded by nature, with the moral energy of the free and active people who are 
S|)rea(1ing their increasing millions over its surface, what a vista through the darkness of future time opens upon 
us ! We see arts, science, industry, virtue and social happiness, already increasing in those countries beyond 
what the most inflated fancy would have dared to hope thirty or forty years ago." The mouth of the Maumee 
in Sandusky hay is 565 feet above the tide waters at Albany ; and the fall of the Ohio and Mississippi from 
Pittsburg to New Orleans is 500 feet. Illinois lies between lat. 36^ 57' and 42° 30' N. and in Ion. 87° 12' and 
91° 5' W. Bounded N. by the N. W . territorv ; E. bv Imliana ; S. by Kentucky ; and W. by Missouri. 

This state is bounded N. E. and S. E. by the Mississippi river ; S. by the territory of Arkansas ; and W. 
and N. b; (he western unappropriated territory of the U. S. formerly a part of Louisiana. Between Lat. 36° 
and 10° 36' N. and Lon. 88° 25' and 94° 10' W. The territory of this state was formerly a part of Louisiana. 
The first white settlements were made by the French in 17G0. St. Louis was first settled in 1762; but this 
country having changed masters, passing from France to Spain, and then from Spain to France, grew in popu- 
lation and importance but slowly until the cession of it to the U. S. by France in 1803. There is perhajis no 
region of country in the world, of the extent of Missouri, that can compare in the magnitude, number and nai i- 
eable facilities of its rivers. St. Louis, or some place in its vicinity, seems destined by nature to become an 
important mart of a vastly extended country. The soil of Missouri on its numerous rivers, of which the Mis- 
sissijjpi, Missouri, Lemaine, St. Francis, Black, Merrimack, and Osage, are the most considerable, is of a 
quality equal to any in the western country, but the soil of the greater part of the territory is by no means pro 
iluctive. The climate of Missouri is liable to great extremes of heat and cold. In metal and other fossil sub- 
stances, Missouri is probably the richest region in the U. S. The lead mines of Missouri, which are 
eliielly in the county of Washington, arc considered the most valuable in the known world. The lead from thi^ 
source is understood during the year 1830. to have completely excluded foreign lead from our markets, unless 
in very inconsiderable quantities. From the various lead mines of the U. S. nearly 15 millions pounds w^cre 
produced in 1829. When this state was admitted into the union, a great effort was made to interdict slavery 
within its territory : but the friends of slaverv prevailed. 

MICHIGAN TERRITOKY, 

This territory includes a peninsula funned by Lakes Huron, St. Clair and Erie on the north east, Lake 
Michigan on the west, and bounded south by the states of Ohio and Indiana, and also the extensive tract of 
country between the Mississippi, and the Lakes Superior and Michigan. From the fertility of the soil, the 
gooilness of the climate, and the ease with which produce can be transported by lake, canal, and river naviga- 
tion to New York, it cannot be doubted that this territory will soon become an important member of the union. 
Indeed it possesses singular advantages for the most extensive inland commerce, and is already the centre of 
tlie north western fur trade. The flice of the country is generally flat, or gently rolling. There is much that 
is extremely fertile ; but the coldness and great length of the winter will probably obstruct its settlement till the 
mt)re southern regions of the Ohio shall be filled. 

Detroit is the principal place of business in Michigan. It is situated on a strait between lakes Erie and St. 
Clair, 18 miles from the former, and 9 miles below the latter. Detroit was first settled by the French in 1670, 
and has ever been a point of country of considerable interest. The passage of the strait of St. Clair, in summer 
months, is very pleasant, the banks fertile and well cultivated, the water gentle and of sufhcient depth for ships 
of great burthen. Freight from Detroit to the city of New York, 837 miles, iiil4 per ton. Insurance about 
i per cent. Detroit is in N. Lat. !2° 21', and W. Lon. 82° 58', and 596 miles from Washington. 

This territory is situated betvve"n 11° 31' and 40° 51' North Lat. ami 82° 18' and 87° 25' West Lon. 

ARKANSAS TERRITORY. 

This territory was formed out of ancient Louisiana, and became a territory of the U. S. in 1819. It is bounded 
east by the river Mississippi ; south by Loinsiana and Reil river ; west by Texas ; and north by the unappro- 
priateil territory of the U. S. and by ^ii^souri. It extends about 550 miles from east to west, and betwi'en N. 
Lat. 33° and 36° 30'. The first setticjiM^nts in the Louisiana country were made in this territory. Frora 
the great extent of this territory, the face of the country, the soil and the climate are much diversiried. 
A chain of mountains passes through Arkansas from N. E. to S. W. and extends into Texas. The country 
S. E. of the mountains is low and liable to annual submersion. To the N. W. the country presents a large 
expanse of prairie, without wood, except on the borders of rivers. As low at Lat. 35° the thermometer ranges 
frora 97° above, to 20° below zero. Arkansas has a large portion of land of great fertilitv, which produces 
cotton, wheat, corn, cattle, with a great variety of fruits and vegetables. Large quantities of iron ore, gypsuu), 
and common salt are found in this territory. -Arkansas, its principal river, and after the Missouri, the largest 
and longest tributary of the Mississippi, rises in the Rocky mountains, and after meandering a great distance 
traverses this territory nearly in the centre and falls into the Mis.sissippi ,591 miles above New Orleans. 

White river is also very considerable : a steam boat from the Mississippi arrived at Batesville, on that river, 
about 400 miles distant, on the 4th of January 1831. 

Little Rock is the capital, and the principal deposit of the trade of this territory ■ Little Rock is on the Arkan- 
sas river, about 120 miles above its mouth. The Hot Sjirings of Arkansas have become famous for their 
medicmal virtues. They are situated near the forks of the Wachitta river, and are much frequented. I'lie 
l?nd around them is called " the land of peace j" and tribes of Indians unfriendly to each '^tlier, on arriving at 
tn.s olace always susuend hostilities.

FLORIDA TERRITORY. 

This territory is bounded north by Georgia ; east by the Atlantic ocean ; south by the gulf of Mexico ; and 
west by the same gulf and Alabama. This is the most southern part of the U. S. It is divided into East and 
West Florida ; the former is on the Atlantic ocean and has St. Augustine tor its capital, in Lat. 29" 45' N. and 
Lon. 81° 30' W. The latter is on the gulf of Mexico and has Pensacola for its capital, in Lat. 30° 28' N. and 
Lon. 88° 12' W. Both are however under one territorial government. Florida was discovered in 1512, and was 
first settled by the French, in 15G2. In 1639 it was conquered by Spain. Although Florida is a peninsula of 
more than 1000 miles outline of sea coast, only 120 miles mean breadth, and less in size than the state of 
■ Illinois, yet owin^ to the indolence or inattention of its former possessors, a large portion of its territory ib 
but impcrfei-tly known. From the best sources it appears that the soil of Florida is of an inferior quality, 
excepting those sections of it near and along its streams. The vegetable productions of Florida are numerous 
and valuable ; cotton, indigo, rice, sugar-cane, indian corn and tobacco; also the olive, orange, lime, peach and 
fig tree are already cultivated with success. It is supposed that the cofl'ee plant would flourish here. The live 
oak and laurel magnolia are indigenous. The capitals of Florida are its chief marts of trade. Both have good 
harbors ; Pensacola is also a depot of the American navy. Tallahassee is the seat of government. 

The small island of Key West is near the coast of Florida, in the gulf of Mexico, a rendezvous for ships of 
war and merchantmen, the most southerly settlement of the tl. S. in Lat. 24° 34' N. and Lon. 81° 33' W. 

The climate of Florida is soft and delicious, rarely suffering from extreme cold, and constantly refreshed by 
fca breezes from the Atlantic or the gulf of Mexico. Invalids from all parts of the U. S. resort to St. Augustine 
for health, and are generally benefited by the air. Bank at Tallahassee, in Lat. 30° 28' N. and Lon. 84° 36' W. 
capital S600,000. Pensacola is 1050, and St. Augustine 8'U miles from Washington. 

This territory was ceded to Great P.ritnin in I7(i3, and in 1781 it was again recovered by Spain. 

GREAT WESTERN TERRITORY. 

With ttie exception of a nuiiiher ol trading liouses, and military posts, this territory is peopled only by the 
natives of the forest. Its government, for tein|ior.irv purposes, is connected with tiiat of IN'lichigan. The best 
account of the character of the natives, the soil, climate and rivers of this country is found in the journal of 
Lewis & Clark, who under the direction of the national government, traversed this immense region, over the 
rocky mountains to the Columbia river on the Pacific ocean, in the years 1804, '5 and '6, and in a later account 
by Major Long, who, with an exploring party visited the valley of the Missouri in 1823. 

Our knowledge however of this territory is at present quite limited ; but as a part of the soi! is known to be 
very good, the face of the country rather undulating tJiau hilly, the climate mild for its latitude, particularly on 
the western side of the mountams, and the passage of the Rocky mountains less difEctilt than has been supposed, 
other states and territorieslike Ohio, Illinois and iVIichigan will doubtless arise in this distant, but highly interest- 
ing section of the territory of the \J. S. Large quantities of furs and peltry are collected in this territory and 
sent to Detroit. 

This territory has a western outline on the Pacific ocean of about 500 miles. The Columbia, Oregon, or 
River of the West is estimated to be about 1600 miles long ; it rises in the Rocky mountains in Lat. about 55° N. 
and falls into the Pacific ocean in Lat. 46° 19' N. and Lon. 123° 54' W. ; and is navigable 183 miles from its 
mouth, to which distance the tide flows. 

This river is also navigable a great distance above tide water, after passing some short narrows, rapids and falls. 
The Oregon territory, so called, is that portion of this country lying west of the Rocky mountains. From the 
mouth of the Columbia to Washington is about 3,100 iviilos. 

When the Indian titles to these unappropriated lands of the U. S. are extinguished, 150 states may be 
formed of larger territory tlian that of Massachusetts. 

THE GREAT LAKES. 

These immense waters, whose centre generally makes the boundary line between the United States and 
the Canadas, have a natural outlet to the Atlantic ocean, by the river and gulf of St. Lawrence. An assem- 
blage of such vast fresh \i'ater seas, the immense basin or country in which they are embodied, the great arte- 
ries which supply them, and the rapid increase of population within this basin ; together with their relative 
position between two powerful nations, deserve a few remarks even in this brief outline of the United States. 

Passing from the sea up the St. Lawrence, the first important place we meet is Q,uebec, the " Gibraltar oj 
America," about 400 miles from the sea, in Latitude 46° 47' N. and 71° 10' W. Longitude. The St. Law- 
rence is navigable for the largest vessels to Cluebec, and even to Montreal, in Latitude 45° 31' N. and Longi- 
tude 73° 35' W. 166 miles above Uuebec, ibr vessels of 400 tons. The tide flows to within 00 miles of Mon- 
treal ; a greater distance than it is known to flow in any other river in the world. From Montreal to Ogdens- 
burg, one of the termini of a contempkitcd rail-road from Boston, a distance of 120 miles, the St. Lawrence is 
in many places very rapid and of difficult navigation. From Ogdensburg to Lewiston, the most northern and 
western points of navigation on Lake Ontario, is about 290 miles. 'I'his lake covers an area of 5, 100,000 
acres, and is navigable for the largest ships. Passing the great cataract of Niagara, from Lewiston to Bufl'alo, 
is 28 miles. From Bufialo to Detroit, is about 330 miles. Lake Erie covers an area of 7,680,000 acres; but 
its depth of water is not so great as that of Ontario. A large amount of tonnage is employed on this lake ; 
and its commerce, as well as that of Ontario, is rapidly increasing. 

The strait of St. Clair, 27 miles long, on which Detroit is built, connects this lake with those of St. Clair, 
Huron, Jlichigan, and Superior. The St. Clair covers an area of about 800,000, and Huron about 12,800,000 
acres. Lake Michigan is about 300 miles long, and covers an area of 9,000,000 acres. This lake is wholly 
whhin the limits of the United States. Michigan is connected with Huron by the strait of Michilimaekinack, 
40 miles long, which, with the lake, is navigable for large vessels. 'Mackhiaw is an island in this strait, a 
place of considerable trade, has a custom house, and is a port of entry. 

Passing from Lake Huron by the strait of St. Jlary, about 40 miles long, and having a fall of about 23 feet, 
we come to Lake Superior, the largest fresh water sea in the known world. This lake is elevated above the tide 
waters of the Atlantic ocean, in the Gulf of St. Lawrence, 641 feet ; and covers an area of 19,200,000 acres. 
From the northern and western extremity of this lake, to the mouth of the Gulf of the St. Lawrence, is about 
1800 miles ; and the whole area covered by the waters of the lakes mentioned, is 54 J million acres, or 85,155 
square miles. 

Great and laudable exertions are making by the British government and the people of the Canadas to draw 
the trade of this iumiense basin to Montreal and Ciuebec. More than a million of dollars has already been 
expended on the Wclland canal to unite lakes Erie and Ontario by sloop navigation round the falls of 
Niagara : the distance is 42 miles ; and the elevation of lake Erie, above Ontario, is 334 feet. When we 
consider the many and great dilEculties attending the navigation of the St. Lawrence, it is confidently believed 
that our canal and rail-road systems, particularly the latter, will prove the best medium of commercial operations 
between tliis basin and the ocean.

CENSUS OF THE UNITED STATES— 1830. 

5^ Thk seals of government of the several states are printed in small capitals; and the county towns, or seats, in 
ttatics. The first figures give tile population of the county in 1820 ; the second, the population of the county in 1830 ; Then 
is given the population of the county town, 18;)0, with its course and distance from some noted town, or the capital of the 
state, and its distance from Washington ; and then is given the population in 1830, of as many of the largest towns, in each 
county, as the limits of this work will permit. Tlie population is taken chiefly from official sources ; The distances are from 
the "Table of the Post Offices" for 1831.

The population of Philadelphia in 1731 was 12,000— in 1753, 18,000— in 1790, 42,520— in 1800, 70,287— in 1810, 96,664— and 
in 1820, 119,.125. The population of Pittsburgh, in 1800,1,565- in 1830, between 17 and 18,000, including th* suburbs. 

There were in this state in 1830, 117,120 while males, and 112,085 do. females, under 5 years of age— 74,351 wh. males, and 
76,649 do. females of 15 and under 20—120,862 wh. males, and 115,423 do. females, of 20 and under 30—46,536 wh. males, 
and 44,222 do. females, of 40 and under 50—28,060 wh. males, and 27,749 do. females, of 50 and under 60—1,919 wh. males, 
and 2,032 do. females, of 80 and under 90—217 wh. males, and 236 do. females, of 90 and under 100— and 37 wh. males, and 
20 do. females, of 100 years and upwards. There were 712 white, and 36 colored persons, deaf and dumb — 443 white, and 
23 colored persons who were blind — and 15,365 aliens. 

There are 7 Universities or Colleges in this state, the oldest of which is the University of Pennsylvania, in Philadelphia, 
founded in 1755, and of which W. H. De Lancey, D. D. is President. 

The societies of i-Vi'f/it/,* in this state are quite numerous ; the F.piscopalians have fiO miuislers ; the Presbyterians 439 
churches, 248 clergy, and 38,873 communicants; the Baptists, 144 churches, 96 ministers, and 7,561 communicants; the 
Methodists, 140 preachers and 46,390 members ; the Oerman Reformed Church, 282 churches, and 73 ministers. The jisso- 
ciate Presbyterians, 39 eongregalioas, IS ministers, and 4,180 communicants; the Evangelical Lutherans, 2 synods; the 
Vutch Reformed Church, 6 churches and 6 ministers; the United Brethren have about 15 congregations ; the Unitarians, 5 
congregations and 3 ministers ; the Roman Catholics are numerous, and there are some Universatists, Jews, and other sects. 
Nothing can better illustrate the wise policy of the people of this slate, than a good map of Pennsylvania. We there find 
canals and railroads intersecting the extensive and fertile territory of this state in almost every direction ; crossing the Alle- 
ghany mountains to the Ohio river; reaching the northern aiid western lakes, and bringing the boundless treasures of her 
coal mines, and a vast inlaiid commerce, to the banks of the Schuylkill and Delaware. Aggregate length of the canals in thia 
state in 1831, 728 miles. State debt, 812,512,520— state property, same year, 315,174.187. 

About a mile and a half from the centre of Philadelphia, stands Fair Mount, a beautiful and lasting monument of the 
enterprise and wisdom of the people of that city. At that place a dam is thrown across the river Schuylkill 900 feet in length. 
Suitable buildings are erected below, on the margin of the river, in which are a number of forcing pumps, which raise the 
water to a number of reservoirs on the top of the Mount, 102 feet above the surface of the river, and 56 feet above the highest 
ground in the city. These reservoirs constantly contain from 8 to 12 million gallons of water, and from 60 to 70 miles of 
pipe lead it into every section of the city. Ten million gallons can be raised daily. About two million gallons daily is the 
usual demand in sunmier months. The cost of the present works was $432,512. Revenue in 1829, $56,693. Since the city 
has been thus supplied with pure and wholesome water, the yellow fever has been almost a stranger within its limits.

do. females, of 15 and under 20 — 2,036 wh. males, and 2,047 do. females of 40 and under 50 — 201 wh. males and 263 do. fe-

The Delaware and Chesapeake Canal, 13 1-2 miles in length, from Delaware city, on the Delaware river, 45 miles below 
Philadelphia, to a branch of the Chesapeake bay, about 70 miles frocn Baltimore, is a work of great national importance, 
inasmuch as it unites the great waters of the Delaware and Chesapeake by a safe navigation for sea vessels of ten feel 
draught of water, thus avoiding a tedious and often dangerous passage round cape Charles, of between three and four hun- 
dred miles. For the year ending June 1, 1831, 5,280 passages uf vessels of different descriptions were made through this 
canal, with passengers, and merchandise of various kinds. The tolls received that year amounted to $62,223. The cost ol 
this canal exceeds two millions. The Railroad from Newcastle on the Delaware to Frenciitown, Md. 16 miles, crossing 
Ibis state in nearly the same direction with the canal, is in operation, and greatly facilitates the progress of travellers.

eoaclics, steam boats, sulkies, and on liorsehaek 23,625,021 miles. Rates of Postage : — for every letter of a 
single sheet, not over 30 miles, 6 cents; over 30 to 80 miles, 10 cents ; over 80 to 150 miles, 12j cents; over 
150 to 400 miles, 18j cents; over 400 udlcs, 25 cents. Double, triple, and quadruple letters, in the same ratio. 
No letter can he charged with more tlinn quadruple postage, unless its weight exceeds one ounce avoirdupois. 

Newspapers, or one sheet of jirintrd I'apcr, not over 100 miles to any state, and to any distance in the slate

1829. The revenue arising from the General Post Office, has, in a great measure, been expended in the ex- 
tension and improvement of the establishment. 

The privilege of franking, and receiving letters free of postage, is given to the following persons, viz. 

President and Vice Pres't. of U. S. Sect's, of State, I'rcasury, War, and Navy, P. M. General and Ass'ts 
P. M. Gen. Att'y. Gen., Compt's. of the I'reasury, Audt's., Reg. Trcas., Comm'r. of the Gen. Land Office,

U.N IT ED STATES MINT. — This institution commenced operations in 1792, at Philadelphia, where it 
has always been located. A. spacious and splendid edifice for its accommodation was commenced in that city 
in 1829, and is now completed. I'lie coinage effected from the time of its establishment to 1829, was 
109,278,031 pieces of gold, silver, and copper, amounting to $32,176,825 37. The coinage at the mint in 

1830, amounted to 8,357,191 pieces — value $3,155,620. It is to be hofied, that the mode of cominiting by 
pounds, shillings, and pence, will be abolished ; and that pistarcens, shilling, nine-penny, seven-penny half- 
penny, and eleven-penny bits will soon, by means of this institution, assume the more convenient form of the 
federal coins. 

An eagle of gold, valued at $10, must weigh 11 penny-weights and 6 grains. A dollar must weigh 17 pen- 
nv-wcights and 7 grains of silver ; and a cent must weigh 1 1 penny-weights of copper. All coins ceased to he 
a legal tender in the United States on the 15th October, 1797, except federal coins and Spanish milled dollars. 

UNITED STATES BANK.— This bank was incorporated March 3, 1616. It is located at Philadel- 
phia. It has a capital of 35 millions of dollars, which is divided into 350,000 shares, of ^100 each. Its 
ch-irter expires in 1836. The United States hold 70,000 shares ; individuals the residue. Nicholas Biddle 
is Presidf nt. and Samuel Jaudon, Cashier. There are 26 branches of this bank now in operation in vi- 
rions parts of the union. The shires of this bank, in 1817. were worth 50 percent, advance, and Oct. 26, 
1833, 8 p**r cent, advance. The *dd United States Bank was chartered in 1791. Its charter expired in 
18U Its capital was $10,000,000, divided into 25,000 shares : it made an average annual dividend of 85 per 
cent, during its continuance. In 1809. lb. 000 of the shares were held by foreigners. Of the presentbank, 
in 1832, t4, 055 shares were held by foreigners ; 51,028 in Penn. ; 40,242, in S. C. ; 34,235, in Md. ; 
30,881, in N. Y. ; 11,617, in Va. ; ll",175, in Mass. ; and 16,767 in other states. 

PUBLIC LANDS OF THE UNITED STATES.— The public lands within the states and territories 
of the United States, consist of those lands ceded by many of the states to the United States ; the latter 
taking the responsibility of extinguishing the Indian titles, together with those lands obtained from France, 
by the purchase of Louisiana, and those by the cession of the Floridas from Spain. 

The minimum price of these lands is iftl;} per acre; and, since 1620, no credit is given to pur- 
chasers. These lands are surveyed before tiiey are offered for sale. They are divided into townships of 
six miles square, which are divided into 36 sections, one mile square, containing each 640 acres ; and 
sold in sections and parts of sections. One mile square in each township is reserved for a school fund. 
A large quantity of these lands is surveyed, and for sale at the various land offices in the states where 
they are located. Elijah Hayward is the land commissioner at Washington, and James M. Moore, chief 
clerk. These lands lie in the following states and territories: viz. Indiana, Illinois, Missouri. Louisiana, 
Mississippi, Alabama, Michigan, Arkansas, Florida and Ohio. They hold out a most inviting prospect 
to the enterprising emigrant. 

The quantity of unceded lands belonging to the Indians, and lying north and west of the states 
and territories of the United States, but within the limits of the United States, has been estimated at about 
750,n00,000 acres, 

By a report of the land commissioner, dated April 2, 1839, it appears that the quantity of land for 
salebelonging to the Unit.^d States, December 31, 1831, to which the Indian and other titles had been 
extinguished, was 227,293,884 acres; that 10,713,317 acres had been appropriated, within the states and 
territories where the lands lie, for internal improvements, colleges, academies, common schools, &c. ; 
298,288 acres had been reserved as saline lands ; and that 4(i,080 acres had been granted to the deaf 
and dumb institutions in Connecticut and Kentucky. There remained within those states and territo- 
ries, December 31, 1831, 113.577.809 acres of land to which the Indian title was valid. It also appears 
by said report, that the cost of the public domain up to September .30, 1831, including all purchases by 
treaty, compact with Georgia, settlements of the Yazoo claims, compromises with the several Indian tribes, 
expenditures for commissioners, surveyors. &c., was .948.077.551 ; and that the amount received at the 
treasury, to that date, as the proceeds of public lands, was .^37,272.713. Balance, $10,804,838. 

Allowing that the public domain was sold at the low price of sevenly-Jivi- cents an acre, and divided 
according to the population by the last census, every free man. woman and child in the United States 
would receive /)Ui(ecn doltur.-'. scvrniy-one cents and a /ruction, after paying the above balance, and with- 
out taking into consideration the saline lands, or any future negotiation with the Indians. The amount of 
capital that might accrue by such sale would supply ample means for constructing a double track liail- 
Road of Quincy granite and wrou.fht iron, from Ensljjort to .\' 20 Orleans, and furnish a fund to procure 
locomotive engines, cars, &c.. and to keep the whole in repair forever. It might also give to each state 
and territory a school fund of three million dollars, pay the /lulilic debt, and leave a balance in the treasury 
of many millions for miscellaneovs expenditures. These lands are becoming more valuable every day 
and axe not only worth looking at, but after.

ularly in seasons when the waters of the Delaware are low. 

Maur'i Chunk R. R, Commenced and completed in 1827. 
From the coal mines near Mauch Chunk, in the county of 
Northampton, 90 ms. N. by W. from Philadelphia. The coal 
is taken from the mines down an inclined plane, 936 feet in 
a distance of 9 miles, to the Lehigh River. The cars de- 
scend bv their own gravity, and are drawn back by mules. 
About 20 tuns is a freight down. From 3 to 400 tons are dis- 
charged daily at the river, from whence it is transported, by 
water, to Philadelphia, New York, and other places. The 
length of this rail-way, luciuding the ends and sides, is 13^ 



miles, and cost $3,0.W a mile. There are many other rail- 
roads in Pennsylvania leading from the mines in various di- 
rections, whose aggregate length exceeds 90 miles. In the 
county of Schuylkill alone, in this state, in 1831, 12,000 per- 
sons were dependent for subsistence on the coal trade ; more 
than 1200 vessels were employed in carrying coal to market j 
and the capital invested in coal lands, buildings, rail-roads, 
cars, boats and horses, amounted to $8,540,000. 

The quantity of coals mined in Pennsylvania in 1895, was 
33,393 tons; in 1830, 1.32,969 tons ; in 1832,379.000 tons. The 
present year, 475,000 tons is about the quantity that can be 
mined. The consumption of coals in London, in 1832, was 
2,139,078 tons. The population of London is nearly double 
to that of all the cities in the United States. There were 
consumed in the city of New York, in 1830, 297,606 loads, or 
about 99,202 cords of hard and soft wood, which cost 
$483,086; also, 23,606 tons of .'Anthracite coal; 11,895 chal- 
drons Virginia do., and 12,593 do. charcoal, which cost 
$321,642— total, $804,728. 

CA.KA1LS IN XTEVr TTOJiX.-Erie Canal, 
This canal commences at Albany, on the Hudson River, and 
terminates at Buffalo, on Lake Erie, 363 miles. (See Table

1825. Cost, $9,027,456. Width at the surface, 40 feet ; at 
bottom, 28; depth of water, 4 feet. Rise and fall, 698 
feet , 84 locks of stone masonry, 90 feet by 15. It passes the 
Cohoes Falls, on the Mohawk River, by 16 locks, to over- 
come a fall of 132 feet, in the space of two iriles. From 
Frankfort lo Syracuse is the " long level," 69 miles without 
a lock. Amount of tolls in 1832, $1,085,612. The distance 
from the city of New York, via Albany and Buffalo, to 
the mouth of the Welland Canal, at Port Maitland, on 
Lake Erie, is 547 miles; from thence to Kingston, 
on Lake Ontario, (directly down the lake,) at the mouth 
of the Rideau Canal, is 2^2 miles ; from Kingston to Og- 
densbnrgh, N. Y., on the St. Lawrence, is 70 miles, and 
from thence to Montreal, 120— Whole distance from New 
York to Montreal, by this route, 959 miles. 

Champlain Canal. This canal commences at the Erie Ca- 
nal, near Waterford. 9 miles above Albany, and extends to 
WJiitehall, at the head of Lake Champlain, 63 miles. It 
was commenced in 1817, navigated in 1819, and cost 
$1,179,872. Dimensions same as the Erie. Rise and fall, 
188 feet ; 21 locks. Tolls, in 1832, $110,192. Lake Cham- 
plain, well renowned in story, is a beautiful collection of wa- 
ters from Lake George, Paulet and other rivers from the 
south; Otter, Onion and other rivers from the Green Moun- 
tains on the east ; and the Saranac, Sable, Chazy, &c., from 
the west. It is 138 miles in length, and varies from I to 16 
in breadth. It is navigable for vessels of considerable bur- 
then, and is a great thoroughfare between the United States 
and Canada. Its outlet is by the Sorel, or Chambly River, 
69 ms. in length, which empties into the St. Lawrence, 45 
ms. below Montreal. (See Table of Distances.) 

Oswego Canal. From the Erie Canal at Salina, on Onon- 
daga Lake, to Oswego, at the mouth of Oswego River, a port 
of entry, on Lake Ontario, 75 miles N. W. of Utica, part slack 
water, or river navigation, 38 miles. Descent from Salina to 
Lake Ontario, 123 feet ; 14 locks. Cost, $.525,115. Tolls in 
1839, $19,786. Oswego River is formed by the outlet of 
Onondaga, Oneida, and other lakes in this state. Onondaga 
Lake is 7 ms. long and 3 broad. (See JVem York, under Cen- 
sus.) Oneida Lake is about 20 ins. long, with a mean width 
of 4, and is celebrated for its fine salmon and other fish. 

Cayuga and Seneca Canal, From the Seneca Lake at Ge- 
neva, via Waterloo, to the Erie Canal at Montezuma, 206

near Seneca Falls, on Seneca River. Cayuga Lake is 40 miles 
in length, and 2 mean width. Seneca Lake is 35 miles in 
length, and from 2 to 4 in breadth. Both lakes are navigable 
for vessels of considerable size. 

Chemung Canal. Length, 18 miles. This canal commences 
at the head of Seneca Lake, and extends to Elmira, on the 
Tioga or Chemung River, (a coal region,) which empties 
into the Susquehannah, at New Athens, Penn., at the head 
of the Middle Division of the Pennsylvania Canal. Naviga- 
ble feeder to Painted Post, 13 ms. Total, 31 miles. Com- 
pleted in 1832. Cost about $300,000. As the Tioga is navi- 
gable from Elraira to New Athens, a distance of about 20 
miles, an inland navigable communication is accomplished 
between the great commercial marts of New York and Phil- 
adelphia, a distance of 798 miles ; winding its course 
through the heart of one of the most delightful countries on 
the globe ; abounding in wheat, salt, coal, iron, marble, and 
every product that fertility of soil, a temperate climate, and 
industry, can bestow upon man. 

Crooked Lake Canal. This canal connects Crooked Lake 
down its outlet, from near Penn Yan, 7 miles, with Seneca 
Lake and the Erie Canal. Lockage, 270 feet. Completed,

99; Benningtim, Vt. 135; and Troy, N. Y. 165, to this de- 
lightful and //y^fian spot, it is 190 miles. Yet, such is the 
present stale of internal improvements in New England, that 
a traveller from Boston .to the Springs, who consults his 
comfort, time and purse, will go by the way of the city of 
New York, in preference to any other — Distance 420 miles !

tended to open a direct communication through the southern 
tier of counties in this state, via Owego and Angelica, to 
Lake Erie, at some point between Cattaraugus Creek and 
the Pennsylvania line. This will give to those secluded 
sections of the state facilities for a market which they have 
never enjoyed ; it will open a new and more direct channel 
to the coal regions in Pennsylvania, and greatly facilitate 
commercial interchange between the city of New York and 
the extensive and fertile territory through which it passes ; — 
with Michigan, and Upper Canada, and the whole western 
States ; and afTord an avenue which the frosts of winter can- 
not impede. Length, about 400 miles.

The beautiful and flourishing town of J^arark. on the west 
side of the Passaic River, 9 ms. W. of New York, is cele- 
brated for its various maimfaciures of leather, carriages of 
all sorts, cabinet and plated wares, coach lace, Slc. The 
amount of export of these and other articles manufactured 
at this place, exceeds two million dollars annually ; probably 
a larger amount than from any other place of its size in this 
country, where no use is made of steam or water power. 

Paterson, aliio on the line of this canal, 14 miles N. W. of 
New York, is a noted roanulacturing town. The beautiful 
falls on the Passaic, of 70 feet perpendicular, afford this 
place an immense water power. In 1810, its population was 
292 ; in 1830, 7731. In 1829, there were in Paterson 4 mill-

Hudson River, near the mouth of the Erie canal, is 204 miles. 
When the rail-road, from Bennington to Troy, now in prog- 
ress, is completed, by the construction of 111 miles of rail- 
road between Bennington and Concord, a large extent of 
country will be opened to convenient markets, and Boston 
will have acquired a safe and easy access to the numerous 
channels of the vast commerce of the west. 

Soittli Hadlcif Canal. Incorporated in 1792. This canal 
overcomes a fall at South Hadley, by a dam 1100 foet in

andiron. Length, inchiiliii!; the branches, 4 miles. Com- 
pleted in 1827. The maximiini inclination of the road is 70 
feet in a mile ; the miiiimnm, 9 feet. An inclined plane, 
of 375 feet in length, serves to take the stone down an eleva- 
tion of 85 feet to the road at the foot of the quarry. A vast 
quantity of this benutifiil material for building is annually 
wrought by the most skilful workmen, into all dimensions,

25 miles N. W. of lioston. Near ils northern terniinnlion it 
passes through a ledge of rock, about 900 feet long, and 40 
high. The cut is 30 feet wide at the bottom, and 60 at the 
top. The inclination of this road will, in no instance, exceed 
10 feet per mile. Incorporated in 1830: to be completed in 
18:11. Single track of stone and iron. This is considered 
the commencement of a line of rail-roads from Boston to 
Ogdensbnrg, N. Y. on the St. Lawrence River, at the natu- 
ral outlet of all the Great Lakes, above the rapids on that 
river, and 190 miles above Montreal. The route friun Low- 
ell to reach that point is not vet determined. The distance 
from Boston to Concord, 63 miles ; Windsor, on Connecticut 
River, 111; Rutland, 142; Middlebury, 173 ; Burlington, 
ou Lake Chainplain, 208; acmss the lake to Platlsburg, 

228; and from thence tbroui^h the ci lies of Clinton,

extent. Tins cniial is 90 feet wide, and 4 deep. The first 
cotton mill at l.ou.ll w.as erected in 1823. There are now 
10 uulN III ..piiiiiiiiii, and 4 building. These mills are of 
brick, aliniit l.=,7 feet in length, 45 in breadth, and 5 or 6 
stones high. The " Machine Shop" is a brick building 290 
feet hiiig, 45 wide, and 4 stories high. About 200 machinists, 
iiiiiny of theui of the most approved skill and ingenuity, are 
foustantly eni[iloyed. About 600 tons of cast and wrought 
iron, besides a largequantity of steel, are annually converted 
into machinery of various kinds. The quantity of anthracite 
coal annually consumed in the mannfacturing establishments 
is computed to exceed 5000 tons ; besides great quantities of 
wood and charcoal. When the new mills are completed, 
there will be 103,380 spindles, and 3,722 looms in operation. 
The maiiiifactures consist of cotton goods of all qualities; 
broadcloths, cassimeres, carpeting, rugs, and negro cloth. 
These mills require annuallv 10,500,000 lbs. of raw cotton, 
and 670,000 lbs. of wool. Tiie mills now in operation pro- 
duce annually 25,000,000 yards of cotton cloth ; 2,000,000 
yards of cotton and woollen negro elolli ; 150,000 yards of 
cassimeres; 120,000 yards of t:in"i ihl-, ..i h. iiiliful colors 
and superior texture; besides lim'' i;ii;iiiiii k^ i.f fanciful 

hearth rugs. These mills reqiiin i i nprMiu rs, or hands ;

about .$ll,r,illl,llOi1. Lowell bus a pnpiilalion of about 13,000. 

Boston and IW.rrrsIrr R. R. Tliif mad commences at the 
easterly side of Boston, and extends to Worcester, 43 miles. 
Incorporated in 1831. To be conrpleted in 1834. Kslimaled 
expense, about $900,000. It is proposed to continue this rail- 
road to Connecticut River, and from thence to West Stock- 
bridge, or some other point in the county of Beikshire, to 
meet the JVcio York and Jilbamj Rail-Road, ijie northerly termi- 
nation of which is at Greenbush, opposite to .Albany. This 
rail-road will open a direct channel, alike available at all 
seasons, from one of the finest grain countries on the globe, to 
sections of New England, amounting in Ihe aggregate to at 
least 20,000 square miles, and populated by no less than a 
million people, whose almost entire dependence for wheat 
bread, and a large portion of their other bread stiifTs, is on 
southern markets, from 3 to 700 miles south of Cape Cod. 
According to the rates of transportation charged b\ the Bal- 
timore and Ohio Rail-Road Company, a barrel of flour, from 
.Albany, fresh from the mills, might be landed in Boston by a 
rail-road, in less than 14 hours, for 86 els. This is, however, 
the maximum rate. Transportation by rail-roads can be af- 
forded for much less. With regard to the immense and 
wide-spreading commerce of the west, in other respects, the 
mercantile community of Boston and its vicinity are too 
wise to be insensible of its value. 

Boslmi and Prooidcnce R. R. This rail-way extends from 
Boston, via Sharon and Foxborough, to Providence, 11. I. 
40 miles S. W. of Boston. Incorporated in 1831 : to be 
completed in 1834. Capital, $1,000,000. Public convenience 
has long required a rail-road in this direction. This route is 
one of the greatest thoroughfares for travellers in the United 
States ; and when it is taken into consideiaiion, that ihe 
i.mmense amount of merchandise continually passing be- 
tween Boston and the south can pass this road in Viree luiurs, 
at any eeaeon of the year, instead of going its present course 



*'OTer the shoals," and round Cape Cod, a distance of 
800 miles, from the mouth of Providence River ; and often a 
voyage attended with great delay as well as risk, it needs no 
effort to show that this work will prove lucrative to its enter- 
prising proprietors, and of great public utility. 

Buston and Taunton R. R. Incorporated in 1831. Capi- 
tal, $1,000,000. From Boston to Taunton, 32 miles S. of 
Boston. It is proposed to unite Boston and Taunton by 
a lateral rail-road froni the Boston and Providence RailKoad 
at Sharon, 18 miles S. S. W. of Boston. Taunton is a large 
and beautiful manufacturing town, at the head of the navi- 

fable waters of a river of that name, 15 miles N. of Troy, on 
'all River (also a flourishing manufacturing town) ; 91 miles 
N. N. E. of Bristol, on Narragansett Bay ; 20 E. N. E. of 
Providence; 33 N. N. E. of Newport; 20 N. N. W. of 
New Bedford ; and 75 miles N. W. by N. of Nantucket. 

JJ'ew Bedford is probably the richest town of its population 
in this country. It has a fine harbor, and is pleasantly located 
on an arm of Buzzard's Bay, 52 miles S. of Boston, 55 N. 
W. of Nantucket, and 214 N. E. by E. of New VTork. Popu- 
lation in 1820, 3,947 ; in 1830,7,592. This town is celebrated, 
with that of Nantucket, for the enterprise of its citizens in 
the Whale Fishery. The tonnage of the port of New Bed- 
ford, in 1832, amounted to 70,400 tons. Ships and barks, 
180. The produce of the whale fishery, the same year, was 
38,885 bbls. sperm oil ; 80,872 bbls. whale oil ; and 781,705 
lbs. of whalebone ; giving employment to about 4,000 men.

ino-toii Canal. This canal commences at New Haven, and 
passes through Hampden, Cheshire, Southington, Farming- 
ton, Sirasbury and Granby, to the Massachusetts line at South- 
wick, 58 miles N. of New Haven. From thence it will pass 
through Westlield and East Hampton to Northampton, by 
the Hampshire and Hampden Canal, 20 miles ; total length, 78 
miles. The Connecticut part of the canal has 218 feet lock- 
age, and a basin of 20 acres at New Haven. Completed in 
1831, and cost $600,000. The great design of this canal is to 
place New Haven in a position to compete with Hartford, 
and other towns ou Connecticut River, for the valuable 
trade of the extensive, luxuriant, and highly cultivated val- 
ley of the Connecticut River. JVeio Haven is a semi-capital 
of the state ; a city of unrivalled beauty ; of considerable 
foreign commerce, and renowned for its literary institutionSj 
and the enterprise of its people. Situated on Long Island 
Sound, 75 miles N. E. of New York ; 34 S. of Hartford ; 108 
S. E. by S. of Albany ; and 64 miles W. N. W. of Montauk 
Point. Population in 1830, 7,147 ; in 1830, 10,678. Hartford, 
the twin capital of the state, is a city of great beauty, and 
possesses all the spirit of enterprise which characterizes her 
sister. New Haven. Hartford has become celebrated, and 
will ever receive the benedictions of philanthropists, for 
having established, within her borders, the first asylum for 
the deaf and dumb on the continent of America. Hartford 
has about 10,000 tons of shipping, a large amount of interior 
trade, and considerable foreign commerce. Situated at the 
head of ship navigation on the Connecticut, 42 miles N. 
of Long Island Sound i 64 W. S. W. of Providence ; 97 S. 
of Boston i 101 S. E. of Albany ; and 110 N. E. of New York. 
Population, 1820, 4,726 ; 1830, 9,789. 

J^orthampton, at the northern termination of this canal, is 
one of the most beautiful towns in Massachusetts. It has con- 
siderable inland trade, and is the centre of large and increas- 
ing manufactures. Population in 1820, 2,854; 1830, 3,618. 
This place is located in the heart of a basin of fine alluvial 
soil of great fertility and extent, adorned with rich and 
variegated scenery ; and in a valley which health, and beauty, 
and all the social and moral virtues, seeui to have selected as 
their favorite abode. 

Enfield Canal. Length, 5^ miles. Constructed to pass En- 
field Falls on Connecticut River, and for hydraulic purposes ; 
2 stone locks of 10 feet lift, each 90 foet by 20. This canal 
adds 40 miles to the steam-boat navigation uf that river. In- 
corporated in 1824.

CANALS are of great anliquilv. The first cinal we 
real of is that of the Red Sea and J^-ite across the Isthmus of 
Suez, 12.") miles ; commenced 616, and completed 521 years 
before the Christian era. The J^aviglio Orandc, near Milan, 
in Italy, was constructed in 1257. Locks, to pass boats 
froip one level to another, were invented by two Italian 
brothers, in 1481, and were first constructed on the Martase- 
na Canal, in 1497. The first canal in France is that of the 
Loire and Seine, 34^ miles. Commenced 1605, and complet- 
ed 1642. The cost of this canal wns $3,700,000 ; about the 
cost of the Erie canal, considering the dilfercnce in the valoe 
of nioiicy. There were, in lb32, 900 miles of canal in 



26 



France. Peter the Great, of Riimia, commenced the canni 

ofiiiio^ra, ana two others, in 1713. By canals Mil rivers, 
Ru.s.sia now enjoys an inland navigation from St. Petersburg 
to the frontiers of Ciiina, a distance of 4472 miles, and an 
inland navigation of 14:14 miles from the Baltic to Astrachan, 
on the borders of the Caspian Sea. The first canal in Great 
Britain was the Sarikey^ 12 miles ; for which an act of parlia- 
ment was passed in 1755. In IT.W, the Duke of Briiieewater 
obtained an act for his stupendous enterprise. By his own 
means, he constructed a canal from Manchester to his coal 
mines at VVorsley, 40 ms. in lenjth ; IB of which are said 
to be under ground. By the duke's munificence, the inhab- 
itants of iMancliester enjoy the privilege of being supplied 
with coals at 4d. for 140 lbs. In 1820, there were 2612 miles 
of canal in Great Brilain. The Imperial Canal, in China, 
from Pekin to Yellow Kiver, 500 ms. in length, is the longest 



canal in the worll. A r'oi>g& kind of i^it-road wat uied In 

Englind, for taking coals from the mines, as early as 167G> 
but the era for the transportation of merchandise and passctw 
pers, by means of rail-roads, coinntenced with the construc- 
tion of tile Slocktnn and Darlington Rad-Road, in England, in 
182.1. Length, 3-2 ms. The greatest Work of the kind in 
England, is that of the Liucrpaal and Manchester, :12 ms. It 
w,as completed in 1830. In 1831,2300 passengers and 405 
tons of goods were conveyed over this rail-w:iy in one day^ 
It is stilted that a locomotive carriage has passed from one 
to\vn to the other in thirty-three minutes. The net income 
of this rail-way from January Isl to June 30th, 1831, wai 
$141,567. The Lyons and St. Etienne Rail-Ruad, in France, 
35 ms. ; double track ; rails of wrought iron, supported by 
stone i was completed in 1831, and cost $1,813,870.

Is so terrific in its approach, and rapid in its course, as to 
preclude, in a great measure, the possibility of those who 
witness it from giving a minute detail of its ravaces. With 
few exceptions, these accounts are taken from the journals 
of the day, and are, probably, as correct, as far as they go, 
as anv that can at present be obtained. A general view, 
therefore, of its course and devastation, can only be expect- 
ed under such circumstances, and in a work of this kind. 

This disease is said to have manifet-ted itself first in Au- 
gust, 1817, at Jessore, a capital city of a district in Bengal, 
lUO miles N. E. of Calcutta. In Sept. following, it reached 
Calcutta, and soon after e.vtended its ravages to many other 
cities of llindostan. From Hindostan it spread itself indis- 
criminately into various other parts of Asia. In 18.(0, it in- 
vade.l European Russia, Pol.ind, Austria, Germany, Hungi- 
ry. and other states of Europe. The Cluarterlv Review 
says: " Up to M,ay, 1811, we knnv of six hundred and fifty 
six eruptions of cholera in Asia and F.uroite. In the 14 years 

ragel, one si\th of the inhabitants 

ed off; one third of those dwelling 
one sixth of those of the same rinss 
ia, one fourth ; in Armenia, a filYh ; 
in .'^yria, a tenth ; in Russia, a twentieth of the population 
of the infected provinces, up to May, 1831, and there the 
malady has made fresh progress and carried off more vic- 
tims. In India, as the disease has existed during the whole 
of the 14 years, M. de Jennes calcul.ites the mortality at 2J 
millions anuuallv, which would give a total of about 
3J,00>,000 i in order, however, to understite, he reduces the 
number to 18,000,000 for Hindostan iaod, taking the mortality 
for the rest of the world from China to Warsaw, to amount 
to about 31,0) ),000, arrives at the conclusion that 50,000,000 
of our race have perished, in 14 years, of a disease which, 
In 1817, e.xisted only in a few spots of the Presidency of 
Beniral." 

In India, from its invasion to its disappearance, the dura- 
tion varied from five days to six weeks i but, in certain 
places, it remained much longer. It ravaged Calcutta to the 
end of May, IS18 ; Bombay, from August, 1818, to February, 
1819; and remained in Pekin three years, where the mor- 
tality was so great that the dead were buried at the expense 
of the state. In Europe, its durations were shorter. It re- 
mained at Berlin from the 30th of Aug. to the 13th of Dec, 
1831 ; at Breslaw from October to December ; and at Vienna 
from the 14th of Sept., 1831, to the 16th of Feb., 1832. In 
Hunoary, the number of cases is stated at 537,199 ; deaths, 
237,068: in Gallicia, 260,1183 cases, and 97,780 deaths. In 
Dantzic, there was 1 patient to 18 of the inhabitants, and 1 
death to 60 ; at Posen, 1 patient to 44, and 1 death to 58 ; at 
liOmburg, 1 patient to 9, and I death to 13. 

In India and Europe, its path has generally been from east 
to west i but its deviation from that course has been fre- 
quently noted. Rivers appear to serve as conductors for the 
cholera, but it lias been known to cross them at right angles, 
and ascend a hilly country. It is said that in India its prog- 
ress was from IS to 18 miles a day. 

In October, 1331, the cholera appeared at Sunderland, in 
Kngland, 260 miles N. by W. of London. It invaded Lon- 
don in February, 1833 ; and, in the course of 50 days, it ex- 
tended to other sections of Great Britain, and to the French 
capital. The number of deaths in London, in 1831, was 
25,337 ; in 1339, 23,fi03 ; of the latter, 3,200 were by cholera. 
From its commencement in London to April 2,^th, therewere 
2,532 cases, and 1,3,14 deaths. The deaths in Paris, in 20 
days, were 8,198. The number of deaths in France, to the 
l8t of Aug., 1832, is stated to have been 69,159 ; in England 
and Scotland, to the 1st of Sept., 47,874 cases, and 17,684 
deaths; in Ireland, to Aug. 19th, 22,865 cases, and 7,119 
deaths. In Dublin, there were 9,252 cases, and 2,775 deaths ; 
Liverpool, to Aug. 31st, 1832, 4,646 cases, 1,397 deaths ; Glas- 
gow, to Aug. 15, 4,164 cases, 1,993 deaths ; Cork, 3,305 eases, 



813 deaths; Edinburgh, lo Julv 2,5th, 796 cases, 467 deaths ; 
Belfast, 2,.559 cases, 303 de.aths ; Leith, to 2jth of July, 194 
cases, and 112 deaths. 

On the 8th day of June, 1832, the cholera manifested itself 
at Quebec, the capital of the Canad.as, 3000 miles distant 
across the ocean, to the nearest infected spot in Euro|te. The 
population of Quebec, both resident and transient, was esti- 
mated at 32,000. Cases, to Sept. 9d, 5,783; deaths, 2,913. 
On the 10th of June, it appeared .at Montreal, 166 miles from 
Quebec. Cases, to Sept. aist, 4,J90 ; ileaths, J,n04. Popula- 
tion, 9,^,000. The disease reached its masimiini at Montreal 
in 9 d.avs, at Quebec in 7. "The course of the epidemic in 
Canada was along the St. Lawrence, alTerling the villages 
that line its banks, and extending to tne farms of the open 
country. From the ft. Lawrence, it spread along the shores 
of Ontario, skirted Lake Erie, arrived at Detroit, and has 
penetrated bv Lake Superior to the Mississippi." 

This epidemic first invaded the United States, at the city 
of New York, June 94, 1339,391 miles sotith of Montreal, 
without a possibility to Ir.ace its iniiuediate origin. The Hist 
suhjert of it was an old resilient of the ritv. No pl-ire on 
the line of communication between .\ew York and Canaila 
w IS attacked with the disease previous to its appearance in 
that city. Even Albany, the great half-way house between 
New York and Montreal, remained untouched until the 3d 
of Julv. Cases in Albany, to Sept. 8, 1146; deaths, 418. 
Population, 2i,000. 

It is impossilile to get the true population of cities in sea- 
sons of an alarming epidemic. The p.ipiil.iiiou of New 
York, during the prevalence of cholera, was estimated at 
140,000. Many suppo.seil the number to have been less. The 
niiiiiber of deaths in New York, in 1831, with a population, 
resident and transient, of .at least 22.1,0)0, was 6,363; in 
1832, n,3,50. This goes to show, as in the cases of London 
and Philadelphia, that where malignant cholera prevails, 
other diseases exist to a greater extent. Cases in New York 
from July 4 to Aug. 23, 5,314 ; deaths, 2,93.5. \Vliole uiinihcr 
of deaths from its'conimencemenl to its termination, in Oc- 
lober, 3,515. Ratio of deaths to cases, 1 to 2. The climax 
of the epidemic arrived July 21, on which day 311 new 
cases were reported. Of the deaths in New York, 998 were 
(of 530 cases) at Bellevne Alms-house, three miles distant 
from where the first case occurred. The first case ut this 
place was that of an old woman, on the 27lh of June, who 
had been confined to the house a number of years, and 
who could not have become infected by any external com- 
munication. 

With the exception of a very limited number of cases at 
New Haven, Newport, Providence, Boston, Troy, and a few 
Other places, all that part of the United States lying east of 
the Hudson River has been entirely exempted from the rav- 
ages of this gieat destroyer. 

The first case of this epidemic in Philadelphia, appeared 
on the 51h of July, 1832 ; the second on the 9th ; hut its in- 
fluence did not acquire its full sway until the 27th. Dis. 
tance from New York, 83 miles ; Montreal, 460. " JVo -possi- 
i}\t circumstance to account for the disease, by eommunieation, ex- 
isted." The population of Philadelphia, wilhin the bills of 
mortality, was 160,000; but it must be granted that many 
people left the city. The number of cases in this city to 
Sept. 13th, was 2,314 ; deaths, 935. Ratio of deaths to cases, 
1 to 21. Many cases in private practice were not reported. 
The disease reached its climax on the 7th of August. At 
Arch-street Prison, it appeared with great violence ; 86 cases, 
46 deaths. It appears, by observations made in this city. 
New York, and elsewhere, that the period of life most liable 
to attack, is from 50 to 60 ; and that most exempt, from 2 to 
10 years. The proportion in regard to sexes in this city, was 
59 30-100 males to 40 70-100 females. Ratio of cases to white 
population, 1 to 74 ; do. of cases to black do., I to 41. Not- 
withstanding the decrease of the resident and transient pop- 
ulation of Philadelphia, during the period of cholera, ths 



mortality in Juno, July and August, 1839, after deducting the 
deatlia bv cholera, exceeded Ihat of the same months in 1831, 
425. Tlie citv of Philndelphii, previous to her incomparable 
water-works being in operation, suffered severely by yellow 
fever ; but nnl*ke yellow fever, wliicli always located itself 
in the must filthy p irt of the city, ihe chulen ditfused itself 
Imliscrrininritcly over every portion of her wide and beauti- 
ful doNiaii). 

To cnnirist the mortality hy cholera with that by yellow 
fever in Phila-Jetphia, ii mny be well to mention, that, from 
Au"tist ath to Octuber 8th. 1793, there were Hil7 deaths; 
and during the same period in 179d, 2773. Popniarinn, in 
179J, ahoit 51,0)1 ; in 1798, 91,033. It Wiis calculated that 
in I79:i, 17,000 inhabitants left the city, and in 1798, 50,00). 

In Baltimore, the number of death:^, bv rholL-ra, to Sept. 
29tli, 18 i9, was 710; in Norfolk, to Sept. 'Hth, -tO;) ; in Cin- 
cinnati, from May 1st to Aujr. 7lh, I8;i:i, 3-17; in Na.-»hville, 
from Marcti 2rtli to Jtilv 12th, 27 whites and 50 hiarks. The 
diseise appeared in New Orleans, 0-:rot.er 27ili, 18 2, iumI

10 ye irs, were much less prone h> tlie disc i-^e than a lulls. 
The dijiease first appeared without the w:ills of the city, but 
Boon became gt-neriJ. The weilthy portion of the city was 
most e.Tempt. The disease soon e.\tended to Mat in/.as, on 
Cuba, 60 miles east uf Havana, and to manv other islands 
of the West Indies. 

The chiilera still prevails in manv jiarts of Europe; 
Ihe number uf cases in Lisbon to Julv, Id.M, was (1,770, 
deaths, 3,2d0. It is now (October, Jb3t) extending its 
ravages in almost every section of the western and south- 
western parts of the United States, with various degrees of 
malignity, and has extended to Mexico, bv which its capital 
city, it is stated, had lost, to Julv, 1833, 14,000 of its people. 

All that can be said in regard to the caiWB^ of Maliunant 
Cholera, is, that there is known to be a malign epidemic 
principle universally existing; but the nature, origin and 
character of that principle remain unknown. It appears 
to have a strong affinity to that class of diseases to which 
the common Cholera Morbus is attached ; for the ercithig 
causes and symptoms, in the^r^t stairey are almost universally 
the same i but, at its .«coHd stage, it generally lakes a tj pe 
entirely its own, and follows, with hasty steps, a path to 
death, distinct frum any other known disease. 

The exciting causes are numerous— exressea of all sorts, 
bad food, such as dried and other indigestible meats, shell 
fish, half-cooked vegetables, unripe fruits or berries, raw 
or cooked, (poisonous at all times, particularly to children,) 
cucumbers, melons, and other watery vegetables, or fruits, 
ripe fruit, (unless in very small qtiantities, or properly cook- 
ed,) all impure liquids, and any that uive an unnatural ghtw 
or chill to tlie system, quack doses, and many other things 
that common sense and experience dictate to all. 

It is confid.'Otly believed by many, that if people, in sea- 
eons of cholera, would live ENTiHELTon good meat, boiled 
or roasted, bread and rice, butter and clieese, a common al- 
lowance of tea and coffee, a temperate quantity of pure wine, 
keep themselves dry, warm and cleanly, wear a woollen 
jacket close to the skin, and avoid, as much as possi' le, tlie 
evening and night air, foetid atmospheres, and crowded and 
unventilated rooms, very seldom a case of death would oc- 
cur by cholera, let it rage ammig intemperate eaters and 
drinkers and the slovenly, to what extent it may. 

As the cholera is a disease " to be prevented, not cured,'* let 
all travellers and others, who may become either necessarily 
or heedlessly exposed by any of its exciting causes, be std- 
einnly admonished, particularly in seasons of cholera, that 
deliy in attention to diarrhaea, or any other premonitory 
symptoin of cholera, is dangerous in the titrcmc; that medi- 
cal asfliBtance should be immediately obtained ; and in cases 
of persons going on journeys or voyages, medical advice 
Bhould always be acquired before depaiture ; and such med- 
icineii and directions procured, as to enable them to check 
it at the onset : for, be it remembered, the second stage is 
nigh to death. 

ftlany learned men are of the opinion that the disease com- 
monly called Malignant Cholera, Asiatic Cholera, or Cholera 
Asphyxia, is not of recent origin, but of ancient date. '* The 
learned M Montbrion carries the origin of this scourge of the 
present age to a very remote period of antiquity. He believes it 
to be the same epidemic to which 70,0J0 of King David's sub- 
jects became victims, from Oan even to Reerslieba. He again 
finda traces of it in the History of Josephus, in the works of 



27 

Hippocrates and Arathen of Cappadoeia, and says it was of 
this malady that the Emperor Trajan died in the year 117, in 
the city of Silencis. The Black Pestilence, which depopulated 
the three parts of the world, and carried off one third of the 
men livinn, about the middle of the 14th century, appears to 
be the epidemic denominated, at the present day, jisiatic 
Cholera. Dr. Brossais is of this opinion." 

Doctor Waterhouse, of Massachusetts, says, " Sydenham, 
who has been called the British Hippocrates, speaks cif ii 
thus : — The cholera viorbiD was more epidemical in li.67 than 
I ever knew it liefore. it was accompanied with violent 
vomitings, and difficult evacuitions downwards. Tlierfl 
was a violent pain and inflammation of the bowels, a heart- 
burn, thirst, with heat and anxiety, nausea, and a small une- 
qual pulse, sometimes cold sweat, and spasms of the legs 
and arms, and such like symptoms, which frighten the by- 
st mderSj.and kill the patient in twenty-four hours.^' 

After quoting tivo learned physicians of antiquity— Cffiijits 
Jinrelianus and Jiretanis—Dx. Vv. says,— " Here we see the 
strong lines of the disense, as they were marked out, two 
th,ius;inii years auo, bv two admirable physicians, who are 
leserveiilv ranke i a.n mg :he princes if the :irt. Two hun- 
.ire4 years ago, the clulera morbus was treated of by Fyden- 
li iui,'in Eu' land , and about the same time by his rountiy- 
nnn, the very lenrneil and admirable anatomist and physi- 
cian, Dr. Tlinmas Willis, umler the name of unbU.ody di;sen- 
ferii. In a wtjr i, the disease has been noticed, from lime to 
tiiiie, fmm the earlie-t records of medicine." 

Alth .u-ii liie rliuleni is instly considered a formidable en- 
efuvof niankni I, \et, when its ravages are compared with 
iho'se of tliH plague in ancient times, it shrinks into compar- 
ative- iusiuniiicance. We are t,.ld that the whole e;irth was 
visited by a plaL'ue 7 - years before the Christian era. The 
great plViiue which overran alm(^^t the wln.le world, in the 
I4th ceiitiiry, cntiitneuced, as di 1 the clmlera, in Asia. Pre- 
vio'is t.i its nppear .nre, and durinii its ravages, the elements 
weie in a state of general ccmvulsitm. ^ tiange meteorultjgit al 
plien >meii i incurreil, accompanied with terrible earthijuakes, 

" U aro-e in Chi Ta, Tartiry, India and Egypt, about the 
year 1345. It wa^ ascribed to a general cdrrupiion of the at- 
mospliL-re, accompanied hy the appearance of millitms ot 
sunll serpents, and {*ther venomous insects . and, in oilier 
places, .piautiiies of hu^e vermin, with numerous legs and 
uf I hideous aspect, which filled the air with putrid e.\hala- 
li.ms. At Rome, an earthquake threw down a great number 
of houses, steeples and cliun lies. At Naples, there was an 
eai-thijuake, accompanied with a tremendous hurricane, 
which de.stroyed a greU portion of Ihe city. 

"'I'he plague e.xtended its ravages frtun India inlnthemore 
western parts of .Asia, into Egypt, Abyssinia, and thence 
into the northern part of Africa. It proceeded over Asia Mi- 
nor, fireece, an.l the isl:inds in the Archipelago, almost de- 
pi)|mlating the regions over which it stalked. It appears to 
have staid five or six months in one place, and then to have 
gone in sear'^h of fresh victims. Its symptoms were the same 
in all countries. It generally appeared in the groin or under 
the armpits, whpre swellings were produced, which bntke 
into sores, attended with fever, spitting and vomiting of 
lilood. The patient frequently died in half a day — generally 
within a day or two, at the most. If he survived the third 
day, there was hope ; though even then many fell into a deep 
sleep, from which they never awoke. 

" Before the pestilence entered Christendom, it is recorded, 
in a report made to the pope at Avignon, that it swept away 
23,80'J,000 persons, throughout the East, in the course of a sin- 
gle year. Frimi (Ireece, the plague passed into Italy. Tlie 
Veneiiins, having lost 100,000 souls, fled from their city, and 
left it almost uninhabited. At Florence, tSO.OOO persons died 
in one yeir. France next became exposed to its ravages. At 
Avignon, the mortality was horrible, (.if the members of the 
English college tliere, not one was left alive; and of the 
whole inhabitants of the citj-, not one in five escaped. 
Streams of putrid sore issued fnun the graves and sepulchres 
of the dead. The malady proceeded norilnvard through 
France, till it reached Paris, where it cut off 50,000 people. 
About the same time, it spread into Germany, where its rav- 
ages are estimated at the enormmis amount of 12,400,000 
souls. According to concuriing accounts of several writers, 
at Lubeck alone, 90, '100 persims died in one year, of whom 
1500 are reported to have died in the space of four hours. 

" At last, this fearful scourge began to be felt in England. 
About the beginning of .\ugust, 1318, it appeared in the sea- 
port towns on the coasts of Dorset, Devon and Somerset- 
shire, whence it proceeded to Bristol. 

*' '1 he people of Gloucestershire immediately interdicted all 
intercourse with Bristol, but in vain. The disease ran, or 
rntber flew, over Gloucestershire. Thencp it spread to Ox- 
ford ; and about the 1st of November reached London. Fi- 
nally, it spread itself all over England, scattering every 
where such destruction, that, out of the whole population, 
hardly one in ten was left alive." 

It is stated as a fact that not one king or prince, of any na- 
tion, died of this disease. No doubt those august personages, 
both Christian and infidel, adopted a temperate mode of liv- 
ing, and paid particular attention to personal cleanliness. 

London was again visited by the plague in 1407, when 
33,000 people were destroyed ; again in 1604, when, it is 
stated, a quarter part of the inhabitants died ; and again in 
lb65, when its loss was 68,000. The plague raged at Con 
stantinople, in 1611, and carried off 200,000 of its peojde. 
Bassorah suffered the loss of 80,000, in 1773; Tunis, 32,000, 
in 1764 ; Egypt, 800,000, in 1792. Smyrna has frequently 
suffered by the plague ; in 1784, 20,000 died ; in 1814, 30,000 ; 
and more recently its loss has been severely felt by the same 
calamity.

On the 14th of July, 1839, a law passed Congress regulat- 
JTiK the T.-iriir, or Rates of Duties, on importg into the United 
Stales, to go into operation from and after the 3d of March, 
IctSJ ; but some of the provisions of that law being unsatis- 
factory, particularly in one section of the country, the same 
Congress, at their next session, desiring to place the Tariff 
on a more permanent basis than it had hitherto been, so 
amended and modified that law, as to make the present 
Rates of Duties as are here stated. The subsequent 
changes in the TaritT System by the acts of March 2d, 1833, 
are subjoined. 

" From and after the thirty-first day of December, 1833, in 
all cases when the duties imposed on foreign imports shall 
exceed twenty per centum on the value thereof, one tenth 
part of such excess shall Ue deducted ; from and after the 
thirty-first day of December, 1835, another tenth part thereof 
shall be deducted ; from and after the thirty-first day of De- 
cember, 1837, another tenth part thereof shall be deducted ; 
from and after the thirty-first day of December, 1839, anotlier 
tenth part thereof shall be deducted ; and from and after the 
thirty-first day of December, 1841, one half of the residue of 
such excess shall be deducted ; and from and after the thirtieth 
day of June, 1849, the other half thereof shall be deducted." 

"The following articles imported from and after the 3l3t 
of December, 1833, and until the 30th of June, 1849, shall be 
admitted to entry free from duty, — to wit : bleached and un- 
bleached Linens, Table Linen, Linen Napkins and Linen 
Cambrics, and Worsted Stuff Goods, Shawls, and other man- 
ufactures of Silk and Worsted, manufactures of Silk, or of 
which Silk shall be the component material of chief value, 
this side ot the Cape of Good Hope, except 



Se 



; Silk.' 



after the 30th of June, 1842, the following ar- 
ticles shall be admitted to entry free from duty, — to wit: 
Aloes, Ambergris, Burgundy Pitch, Camomrte Flowers, Cat- 
sup, Chilk, Coculus Indicus, Cocliineal, Coriander Seed, 
Crude Saltpetre, Emery, Grindstones, Gum Arabic, Gum Sen- 
egal, Horn Plates for lanterns, Indigo, India Rubber, Juniper 
Berries, Lac Dye, Madder, Madder Root, manufactured Ivo- 
ry, Musk, Nuts and Berries used in dyeing, Nuts of all kinds, 
Oil of Juniper, Opium, Ox and other Horns and Tips, Quick- 
silver. Refined Borax, Saffron, Shellac, Sulphur, Tin Foil, 
Tin in plates and sheets, Tortoise Shell, Turmeric, unmanu- 
factured Rattans and Reeds, Vegetables used principally in 
dyeing and composing dyes. Weld, Woad or Pastel, and all 
articles employed chiefly for dyeing, except Alum, Copperas, 
Bichromate of Potash, Prussiate of Potash, Chromate of Pot- 
ash, and Nitrate of Lead, Aqua Fortis and Tartaric Acid i : 
and all imports on which the first section of this act (the fivst 



paragraph quoted above) may operate, and all articles now- 
admitted to entry free of duty, on paying a less rate of duty 
than twenty per centum ad valorem before the said 30th of 
June, 1842, from and after that day may be admitted to entr> 
subject to such duly, not exceeding twenty per centum ad 
valorem, as shall be provided for by la\v." 

By the acts of March 9d, 1833, the provisions of the 10th 
and 12th clauses of the 2d section of the act of July 14th, 
1832, are suspended, until the 1st day of June, 1634. Those 
clauses are in the following words, to wit : " On Axes, Adzes, 
Hatchets, Drawing Knives, Cuiting Knives, Sickles or Reap- 
ing Hooks, Scythes, Spades, Shovels, Squares of Iron or 
Steel, plated Brass and polished Steel Saddlery, Coach and 
Harness Furniture of all descriptions. Steelyards and Scale 
Beams, Socket Chisels, Vices and Screws of Iron, (called 
Wood Screws,) thirty per centum ad valorem ; on common 
tinned and japanned Saddlery, of all descriptions, ten per 
centum ad valorem: Provided,' th^Lt said articles shall not be 
imported at a less rate of duty than would have been charge- 
able on the material constituting their chief value, if import- , 
ed in an unmanufactured state." " On japanned wares of 
all kinds, on plated wares of all kinds, and on all manufac- 
tures, not otherwise specified, made of Brass, Iron, Steel, 
Pewter, or Tin, or of which either of these metals is a com- 
ponent material, a duly of twenty-five per centum ad valo- 
rem: Provided, that all articles manufactured in whole of 
Sheet, Rod, Hoop, Bolt, or Bar Iron, or of Iron Wire, or of 
which Sheet, Rod, Hoop, Bolt, or Bar Iron, or Iron Wire, 
shall constitute the greatest weight, and which are not other- 
wise specified, shall pay the same duty per pound that ia 
charged by this act on Sheet, Rod, Hoop, Bolt, or Bar Iron, 
or on Iron Wire, of the same number, respectively : Pro- 
vided, also, that the said last-mentioned rates shall not be less 
than the said duty of twenty-five per centum ad valorem." 

Payment of Duties. — All' duties not exceeding $2!iO in 
amount, are to be paid in cash without discount ; and *' the 
duties on all Wool, manufactures of Wool, or of which Wool 
is a component part, shall be paid in cash without discount." 

With the above exceptions, the duties on all imports are 
payable in three and six months, until the 30th day of June, 
1842, when '• the duties required to he paid by law' on goods, 
wares and merchandise, shall be assessed upon the value 
thereof at the port where the same shall be entered ," and " all 
duties upon imports shall be collected in ready money." 

fjCf An addition of 10 per cent, will be made to the sever- 
al rates of duties on all imports in vessels not of the United 
States ; excepting, however, such foreign vessels as are enti- 
tled by treaty, or by act of Congress, to be entered in the ports 
of the United States on an equality with American vessels.
